[R] X11 font issue on Linux when creating a jpeg or png from a graphNEL object

[Mark W Kimpel]

I am trying to write a png or jpeg file from a plot (graphNEL.object) on 
a cluster running Suse Linux and get the following error using either 
device:

jpeg(filename = fileName, width = width, height = height, pointsize = 
12, bg = "white")

plot(result.gN, layout.param, nodeAttrs = nAttrs, edgeAttrs = eAttrs,
   main="Title")
dev.off()

Error during wrapup: could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.

When I do xset -q I get:

Keyboard Control:
   auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000000
   auto repeat delay:  500    repeat rate:  30

Font Path:

Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled
DPMS (Energy Star):
   Standby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
   DPMS is Enabled
   Monitor is On
Font cache:
   Server does not have the FontCache Extension

It looks to me like the fonts I need are on the font path per 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html, but I am not sure 
what the message about Font cache means.

Here is my sessionInfo():

Advice?
