Many Japanese were troubled with the setting of the font. I added the following to .Rprofile first.
setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"), function(...){ grDevices::quartzFonts(sans=grDevices::quartzFont( c("Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W6", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W6"))) grDevices::quartz.options(family="sans") ) However, it was not reflected in family of the default. If I appoint it with `quartz(family="sans")', which was able to use Japanese. Therefore I added hook. attach(NULL, name = "MacJapanEnv") assign("familyset_hook", function() { if(names(dev.cur())=="quartz") par(family="sans")}, pos="MacJapanEnv") setHook("plot.new", get("familyset_hook", pos="MacJapanEnv")) However, the following practice caused a problem. > plot(1:5,1:5) > legend("bottomright",legend=c("a","b"),lwd=1,col=1:2) Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
