Rich,
it looks like the same problem, you have some infinite loop in your fonts. No idea how that can happen, possibly recursive symlink in your font directory?
Cheers.

Less than 30 seconds on my iMac, so something is very wrong with your fonts or file system.

I am in the middle of validating fonts. The machine has been running for about 12 hours, the Activity Monitor CPU
time for the Font Book app is currently at 2:35.15. It keeps going up but very slowly.
The progress bar at the bottom of the Font Validation window has been stuck at about 1% from when it started and hasn't moved.
How long is this task supposed to take?

Simon,
Thank you for reading this.
I sent what Apple gave me. I had not previously tried reading one of these.
So should I be so lucky in the future, then all you need is everything between
Process: R [
and the next occurence of
Process:
?
and maybe also the up front stuff before the Process: information.
I already rebooted, installed a new R, and a new Xquartz. Those didn't help.
Reinstalling R is probably irrelevant because the problem occurred first in 4.1-arm64,
which is why I upgraded to 4.2-arm64. And it was still there.
This suggests that the problem is with the Fonts. I have never touched them (on purpose).
I will learn a little in the next frew days and see what can be done with validation.
I will let you know. But what made the fonts (if that is indeed the problem) go invalid.
I can't think of anything I did that could be relevant.

Rich,
thanks. You sent a log of all processes on your machine, just the R report would have been fine (which is only 18k).
The hang occurs in ATSFontFindFromName() where the system is looking for fonts, so you could try: a) reboot he machine, b) run Font Book (in Applications), c) select all fonts (<Cmd><A>) d) in the menu select File -> Validate Fonts e) select any invalid fonts and remove them f) reboot
If the problem persists try re-installing the R 4.2.0 release if it makes any difference.
Cheers,
Simon

Regular R does not use X11 by default, so what exactly are you doing? You'll have to provide more details, the exact way you run R, code to reproduce and where it hangs, ideally with a crash report (which macOS creates on hangs as well).

it makes R unresponsive according to the activity monitor.
The only repair I have found is to ForceQuit R from the Activity Monitor, and start fresh R session.
I downloaded a fresh copy of XQuartz-2.8.1.dmg and have the same negative results.
I downloaded a fresh R from https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmac.r-project.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Crmh%40temple.edu%7Cba5d30f1cc9b479ebf7e08da481e755d%7C716e81efb52244738e3110bd02ccf6e5%7C0%7C0%7C637901592942888593%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=e2ElYPKeUg%2BWkjWsqIKw0dw4moPBtiWrb%2FqNZngRJZw%3D&reserved=0
