Hi.
First, I reported this to the ports group, but they (and I) confirmed
that this appears to be a gnome specific problem (that is, under X/twm
it runs fine). Any/all suggestions are most welcome.
Basically, R 2.1.0 was just committed to the ports tree. However, for
some reason it cannot find any fonts. When I try to do a something
simple, e.g.
> demo(persp)
demo(persp)
---- ~~~~~
Type <Return> to start :
> if (dev.cur() <= 1) get(getOption("device"))()
Error in get(getOption("device"))() : could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
Any graphics device that writes to screen also reports this.
I have scoured newsgroups, the R archives etc. and see one complaint
about this but no resolution. Any help is much appreciated. This occurs
on a 5.4 stable system and 6.0 current both running gnome 2.110. The
previous version (R 2.0.1) ran just fine out of the box under gnome..
Many thanks for any help/suggestions.
