Dear David,
Jose and I corresponded earlier today, and I can’t duplicate his problem on two MacBook Pros, both with apparently the same setup as Jose’s: macOS Sierra, R 3.4.0, Rcmdr 2.3-2, and XQuartz 2.7.11 (i.e., all current versions). If the problem were with availability of X11 fonts, why would the fonts appear properly for him with R 3.3.3 but not R 3.4.0? I thought that someone more familiar with Macs than I am might spot the cause of the problem from Jose’s screenshot, and so I suggested that he write to the R-SIG-Mac list.
