I'm having this problem - and I have seen earlier post on the same problem - but the solutions either do not work for me or (being fairly new to linux) I do not understand the suggested actions.
So here goes: Whenever I try to add a 'main' title R responds with an error that it can't find any X11 fonts. ### Very basic examples ### # 1. No error (a scatterplot x=1:10 and y=1:10): plot(1:10,1:10) # 2. No error (as above, but add a subtitle): plot(1:10,1:10,sub="subtitle") # 3a. Error (as above, but add a main title): plot(1:10,1:10,main="Main title") # 3b. Error (an equivalent way to produce the same): plot(1:10,1:10) # no error title(main="main") # error # produced error: > plot(1:10,1:10,main="main") Error in title(...) : could not find any X11 fonts Check that the Font Path is correct. # output from sessionInfo() > sessionInfo() Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) i486-pc-linux-gnu attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" [7] "base" # I don't know if this is relevant but # from getOption("X11fonts") > getOption('X11fonts') [1] "-adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" [2] "-adobe-symbol-medium-r-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" ### examples end ### The solution may obvious for somebody more familiar with Linux, but as stated, I'm new to Linux, so I would appreciate detailed explanations.
