I have a similar problem; I am sure there's something I should do on my machine
but I just can not figure out what.
On:
> demo(graphics)

after two enters, I get:

> title(main = "January Pie Sales", cex.main = 1.8,
    font.main = 1)
Error in title(main = "January Pie Sales", cex.main = 1.8, font.main = 1) :
        X11 font at size 22 could not be loaded

I read the "R Installation and Administration" manual, I recompiled R using all
the options (e.g. --with-x), I have all the requred packages...

My system: SuSE 9.2 Professional
