Since you are running Ubuntu Edgy, you might want look at the "Files"
section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Perhaps R is looking for
fonts not available to the X windows system. You can compare the
"Files" sections between your laptop and desktop. My font path
settings are attached.
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
# path to defoma fonts
FontPath
"/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"

in `R', getOpton("X11fonts") tells you which font family `X11()' is using by
default (but you can alter this in the `X11' call if need be) and the size 8
subtype seems to be missing.
you may compare the above with the output from `xlsfonts' in the unix shell,
or use `xfontsel' to browse interactively through the installed fonts
to verify whether `R's complaining is justified.
probable solution: use some existing sufficiently complete (different sizes)
font-family in the `X11()' call or copy over the default fonts from the
labtop
where it works.
