plot() does not give labels under quarts.
Tena, I had the same problem myself a few months ago, when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.5 (from OS X 10.4) I don't know why this happened, but by trial and error I found that putting family = "sans" into the plot command brought back the labels. Bizarrely though things recently started working normally again, with no updates/upgrades on my part. Strange, eh? Anyway, try the family = "sans" thing, it might help.

Greetings,
I have noticed a bit odd behavior of plot() on OS X 10.6.5.
The R I downloaded from cran is R-2.12.1.pkg. Below is
what I did:
R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)
.
.
[R.app GUI 1.35 (5665) x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0]
> foo <- c( 4, 6, 9 ,12 )
> moo <- c( 34, 37, 41, 49 )
> plot( foo ~ moo )
This gives me a plot with no labels. No "moo", "foo", or numbers under
tics. But,
> X11()
> plot( foo ~ moo )
This gives me xlabel ("moo"), ylabel ("foo"), and numbers under tics.
In the first case, by default, I am using quartz, while the second,
obviously, I am using X11.
Does anybody know why this happens under quartz and not under X11?
Thank you.
