Looks to be the same for me under 22.04, but I am not sure what if anything I can do for you here. The package builds do nothing special with respect to font configuration, setup, or load. "It's just R and x11." Maybe a private email to Paul Murrell is the best way forward as this is likely deep inside R ...
Ok, thanks for confirming that this is not just some weird config on my end. Will consider getting in your with Paul. Best, Wolfgang
