Fontconfig warning with X11() on MAC OS X 10.4
Thanks -- Quartz works perfectly fine under R in an xterm, so do the graphics functions in the Cairo package. I usually run R from emacs under X11 on both my MAC and linux box, so just use to the "default" graphics device opening with no problems after issuing a graphics command rather than having to take the extra step to open the device then issue the plot command. BTW, I have no problem on another MacBook running Leopard. best, Merlise

I realize this doesn't directly answer your question, but seeing as you're on a Mac, have you tried using the quartz device? -roger On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 10:27 AM, MerliseClyde <clyde at stat.duke.edu> wrote:
I posted previously about problems with X11() on my MAC using R 2.8.1 . After installing the securilty update for Tiger this morning, X11() now works from an xterm :-) However, I receive the following warnings with any plotting command using the default X11 settings. Fontconfig warning: no <cachedir> elements found. Check configuration. Fontconfig warning: adding <cachedir>/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/cache</cachedir> Fontconfig warning: adding <cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir> Everything works fine with the Xlib option:
X11(type="Xlib") plot(1:10) ?# no problems! X11(type="cairo") plot(1:10)

Fontconfig warning: adding <cachedir>/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/cache</cachedir> Fontconfig warning: adding <cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir> subsequent commands with X11/cairo plot with no errors. If I quit R, and start a new session I continue to receive the Fontconfig warning. Any suggestions on what is wrong with my font configuration? (mainly annoying :-) Thanks!
