ERROR in R+Lion+X11: could not find any X11 fonts

Hi,

after googling around I surrender and post to this list.
With a Mac OS 10.7.2, R installation 2.14.1, X server starts but doesn't find the fonts.
The solution is not to check xorgs.conf as there is no such config file here.

The behavior is easily spotted:
Error in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) : 
  could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops will operate in C locale
2: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  X cannot set locale modifiers
R Graphics: Device 1 (ACTIVE) starts, plot one circle but stops on that error.

Any help for this?
Thank you
Brian Ripley

Can you please follow the posting guide and tell us your sessionInfo() 
(and are you using R.app or R, the command-line version?).

That your locale is not recognized by X11 may be significant, and 
sessionInfo() includes the locale information.
