I get the following error out of R, on a newer Ubuntu installation. Error in `axis()`: ! X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 1 at size 12 could not be loaded Backtrace: 1. graphics::matplot(...) 3. graphics::plot.default(...) 4. graphics (local) localAxis(...) 6. graphics:::Axis.default(...) 7. graphics::axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...)
The context is pretty simple: library(survival) matplot(60:100, 36525* survexp.us[61:101, 1:2, "2014"], col=2:1, lty=1, lwd=2, xlab="Age", ylab="Death rate per 100", log='y', type='l', yaxt='n', main="US Death Rates") axis(2, c(1,2,5,10,20, 50), c(1,2,5,10, 20, 50), las=2) This code works fine on my screen. The error comes up when I put it into an .Rmd file and apply rmarkdown::render() to it. Likely some font file is needed, but what one?
