X11 font -adobe-helvetica size 15 could not be loaded
See ?X11 and the 'R Installation and Administration Manual'. You are dragging up ancient history (2002). The 'modern' X11 device (from 2007) uses cairographics and does not use X11 fonts. I suggest you take a look at how R was built and ensure that the cairo-based device is available. Further, for a long time most X11 installations have been from Xorg and not Xfree86, and do not generally have a config file.
