Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: r-base
The R package (r-base and r-core) is unable to plot graphs when the
function plot() is used. The apparent cause is that X11 font path is not
correct set either when compiling R or it changed from the previous
version of X to the current one.
As a observation that can be helpful. I used R in Dapper (compiled by
myself) and it worked fine in X but showed the same error when using
Xgl.
To reproduce the error just start R and try to use the plot() function.
