EDIT: Okay, it seems that X11 renders the fonts etc...okay
Typing in: X11() demo(plotmath) dev.off() seemed to render everything including the fonts fine, so I don't think any of my fonts are corrupted. But is there a way to configure R to set X11 as the default device for graphics? Right now, it uses quartz as its default device for rendering to the screen. I'm a bit of a newbie here, so could somebody explain how to add to my R config file to have the default device be X11?
