1) I did enter the quartzFonts() command, and I received what I
assume to be
the expected output:
quartzFonts()
$serif
[1] "Times-Roman" "Times-Bold" "Times-Italic"
[4] "Times-BoldItalic"
$sans
[1] "Helvetica" "Helvetica-Bold"
[3] "Helvetica-Oblique" "Helvetica-BoldOblique"
$mono
[1] "Courier" "Courier-Bold" "Courier-Oblique"
[4] "Courier-BoldOblique"
2) If I output my plots directly to a pdf file, the text is included
just
fine. If I run identical commands to be output to the default
device, no
text is displayed. This seems to indicate that it could be some
kind of
problem with the Quartz device?
Assuming that the quartz device is the current device that is. What
does dev.cur() return?

3) The output that I received from the par() command after plotting
a graph
(with no tex) is identical to that received from another user who is
able to
see text graphs.
Ultimately, it would be good to determine and fix the root cause of
this
problem, as it would be convenient to be able to view graphs
immediately
upon generating them. However, outputting to a PDF file gives me a
good
workaround for the moment.
Thanks again,
Adrian

I don't have a solution, but you may get another clue to where the
problem
lies if you send the plot directly to a file, and see whether the
text
shows up there.
pdf()
# your plot commands here
dev.off()
Then look at Rplots.pdf in your working directory.

Hello,
Thank you for the suggestions thus far. In response:
No plotting command includes text, even if it is explicitly
specified
with
the "xlab", "ylab", or "main" commands. For example:
plot(1:10, xlab="foo", main="bar")
produces a graph with no text on either axis, no numerical labels,
and no
title.
As for David's suggestion, this looks similar to a post that I found
online: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.mac/5489. I
looked
through my font book and did not find any duplicate fonts. Just
to be
sure,
I selected all of the fonts and did a "resolve duplicates" operation
under
the Font Book edit menu. Still no text on any graphs though.
Thanks again,
Adrian

Hello,
I am having trouble displaying graphs in R. Whenever I create
graphs,
no
axes labels, numerical scales, or titles are displayed. If I
use the
"text()" function to explicitly add text to the graph, no text is
displayed.
I can see all of the graphs using the "demo(graphics)" command,
but
none
of
the graphs include any text. I am running R version: R 2.11.1
GUI 1.34
Leopard build 32-bit (5589) on Mac OS 10.6.4. I would be happy to
provide
any further information that could be useful in diagnosing this
problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
Your font library has probably become corrupted. Use Font
Book.app to
look
at Times, Courier, Helvetica and Symbol and remove any duplicate
entries
that are blank.
