As far I can remember you have never offered either sessionInfor(),
nor a sample problem in R code, nor an explicit description of what

demo(plotmath) and it appears not to exercise fonts ot any
exceptional degree .... no theta's, tau's or gamma's. Do you care to
exapnd on your difficulties?

demo(plotmath) produces a table of equations loaded with sigmas and
pi's, alphas, omicrons, upsilons, etc...
Yes, I did miss the lower right corner of the second page (out of
five) where the Greek letters were demonstrated but certainly did
notice the set relations and arrows section. What I was asking for is
an explicit expansion on the term you used ..."messed up". Your
description of problems does not mimic those that I (and others) were
earlier having, were solved by removed corrupted versions of the
Symbol font. In that instance printing to the Quartz device produced
small empty boxes where Greek letters should have appeared and this
happened also when pdf or tiff were used as output devices.
I'm not sure what demo you're running quite frankly.
How else do you want me to "expound on my difficulties"?
More specifics, especially in light of your next stated limitations.
I've said as straightforwardly as I can what is happening. My
newsgroup client doesn't allow me to post images to this newsgroup,
so it is difficult for me to show you what I mean, so if you've run
demo(plotmath) you should know which fonts I am referring to.
It's not actually a newsgroup but rather a plain-text mailing list.
It's also a plain text newsgroup. According to my newsgroup client.
The default output device is set with the options function:
?device
However, when I try that, I still see a Quartz plot with:
> options(device="X11")
> plot(1)
What I needed to do to get X11 plotting was:
dev.off() # closing the default Quartz device
Then X11 gets the output. If this is desired for every session then
put it in .Rprofile or some other startup mechanism ... see the
Installation and Administration manual and
