I am not exactly sure whether this is the right place to ask this but I hope
this might be relevant to some other users of ubuntu linux as well.
I've installed R-2.11.1 in my ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
When I tried to generate a simple plot, however, it crashed:
> plot(rnorm(100))
Error in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :
could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, :
locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops will operate in C locale
2: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, :
X cannot set locale modifiers
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
i686-pc-linux-gnu
locale:
[1] LC_CTYPE=en_SG.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=C
[3] LC_TIME=en_SG.utf8 LC_COLLATE=en_SG.utf8
[5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_SG.utf8
[7] LC_PAPER=en_SG.utf8 LC_NAME=C
[9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C
[11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_SG.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
attached base packages:

It seems like this is due to genuine font path problem in Ubuntu (and so has
nothing to do with R itself) but I'm just asking if anyone was able to solve
this problem.
When I googled the "font path in ubuntu", it produced some suggestions
regarding xorg.conf but following them didn't solve the problem for me.
Any ideas?dlgmlwj
Thanks in advance,
