[R-pkg-devel] IFC package - Solaris error polygon edge not found (zero-width or zero-height?)
Replying to myself and with some additional investigations I just tried once again on rhub - Oracle Solaris 10, x86, 32 bit, R-release and got the same error with a conditional font family modification where when Sys.info()["sysname"] == "SunOS", - pdf(), family argument is set to its default value "Helvetica" - gridExtra::ttheme_default, base_family argument is se to its default value "" Otherwise, "serif" is used In addition, the error in solaris shares "polygon edge not found" lately reported by I?aki ?car Though, I don't have the warning part, and mine is not happening during vignette rebuilding 2021-Aug-10, [R-pkg-devel] "polygon edge not found" on macos-arm64
Dear CRAN maintainers,
I see there's a new WARN on the recently added macos-arm64 platform
for quite a number of packages. Specifically, vignette rebuilding
fails with "polygon edge not found" (example in [1]). In addition,
there are a number of warnings like this:
Warning in grid.Call(C_stringMetric, as.graphicsAnnot(x$label)) :
no font could be found for family "Arial"
Is this something package authors should worry about in submissions?

Hello community, I plan to submit a new version of IFC package to CRAN. I checked it locally, on win-builder and on rhub. Almost everything looks OK except for: - Debian Linux, R-devel, GCC ASAN/UBSAN - Oracle Solaris 10, x86, 32 bit, R-release On Debian Linux, R-devel, GCC ASAN/UBSAN, I get a PREPERROR, I suspect it is a false pos since it says that xml2 package can not be installed. My main concern is about Oracle Solaris 10, x86, 32 bit, R-release where the function ExportToReport leads to the error reported in the title see: https://artifacts.r-hub.io/IFC_0.1.2.tar.gz-0e84aed564a1488894eb7e34990443af/IFC.Rcheck/IFC-Ex.Rout However I got no error on Oracle Solaris 10, x86, 32 bit, R release, Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 Some googling points to https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/2252. The code of ExportToReport, is here https://github.com/gitdemont/IFC/blob/master/R/ExportToReport.R, The issue links this solaris error to ggplot but threads also mention grid / font... So my guess is that it could be related with the fact that I apply font modifications through gridExtra::ttheme_default and in pdf() by using "serif" in ExportToReport Do you think, this is only on rhub but will not happen on CRAN ? I did several modifications since last CRAN update, but previous CRAN version of IFC package already included those font family modifications in ExportToReport (https://github.com/cran/IFC/blob/master/R/ExportToReport.R ) and did not produce solaris error in CRAN results ( https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_IFC.html) Nonetheless should it be safer to use other font family only for solaris ? In such case what would you be your recommendations to check it (e.g. Sys.info()["sysname"], I don't know the returned value on solaris) and to apply another font family (but which one) Maybe, it is something else. But, in such case, I have absolutely no idea where it comes from what I can do. Best, Yohann
