[External] Re: another freeze on plot(1:10)

Dear John,
Yes, that is an important question.
It occurs both from the R app and from the terminal as well as from emacs.

The issue is very specifically the default graphics device, either by specification quartz() or by just drawing something.
Two months ago, it was because the Mac fonts got damaged.  I reset them and all was well.
This time the crash report doesn?t show the fonts problem, but the font checking app is again not working correctly.
The progress bar stops at 1% and never moves.  This time I attempted to repair the fonts.  The repair tool
said the fonts are ok and that it didn?t do anything.

Hi Rich,

I imagine that there are other people who will make more sense out of
the crash report than I, but one thing that I noticed immediately was
that you're using R from Emacs.

I've been using R 4.2.x arm64 builds extensively on two up-to-date Macs,
a MacBook Pro and a Mac Studio desktop, both with M1 chips. I use both
RStudio and the R.app GUI. I haven't observed anything like the problem
you're experiencing.

Does the problem occur when you're not using Emacs?

I hope this is of some help,
  John
