Thanks for the update. This seems to be a genuine amd64 upstream oddity of fonts being flaky. I think the best I can do is to point it out upstream.

Bug#309012: Follow-up on R/amd64 cannot find fonts in some cases (Was: Bug#309012: 309012(
Peter, Kurt, Brian, Here is a belated comment from an R user on amd64 experiencing font problems as described in an earlier bug report by Ryan, and a suggested way to fix the issue. The full (older) discussion of the problem is at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=309012 and Peter had chimed in once or twice. I can't really judge how pervasive the issue is, and if something out to be done about it at the R level, but I thought I should at least give you the heads up. My thanks to Andreas for the follow-up and the tip. Ryan: Is there something you folks at Berkeley observed?

We are experiencing a similar issue and may have some light to shed on the issue (especially for others that may experience it to). We are running ltsp thin-clients connecting via xdmcp to a debian unstable amd64 machine. We occasionally got the same error. It turned out that the error occurs until some application does something along the lines of: xset fp default That command itself fixed the problem. Since we don't seem to do anything strange with the fontpath I don't know why this command makes a dfference but it fixed the problem. (So we inserted it into the R shell script.)
