[R] Error in X11(): Font Path?

Hello,

I have recently upgraded to the new modular Xorg-7.0 in my gentoo laptop
with R-2.2.1.

Although everything seems to work fine, now in R I am unable to open the
X11 device:
-----8<---------------
Error in X11() : could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
-----8<---------------

It happens any time that I want to plot anything or simply to open the
display.

-----8<---------------
> options('X11fonts')
$X11fonts
[1] "-adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
[2] "-adobe-symbol-medium-r-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
-----8<---------------

I have found in some messages to the list that it is usually related to
system configuration. But, except for the new Xorg-7.0 installation, anything
has changed. 


Any ideas to follow from now on?

Thank you,
