Offering the OS details is more courteous than omitting them. (And there are several other courtesies expected of you listed in the Fine Posting Guide.) If this happens to be on a Mac, it may mean your screen fonts are corrupt. You can see their names with: names(quartzFonts()). Using Fontbook.app will sometimes reveal that there are two copies of one of the screen graphics fonts and that one of them displays as blanks. These should be deleted with Fontbook.app. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
