re the warnings no font could be found for family "Arial" when using a quartz device. Was this ever resolved? I'm getting the same behavior with 2.10 (and later) but *not* when using the Urbanek/Iacus GUI (1.32 5546 Leopard). R from a terminal window (or ESS) produces the "text-less" graphs and warnings when using a quartz device; see the output below. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
