HI All,

I got this Error message, when I tried to plot
 X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 5 at size 15 could not be loaded


sessionInfo()
R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03)

I looked online for a solution.and found this (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2002-June/022116.html).  But, 

/etc/X11 $ ls
app-defaults             rgb.txt  xkb       Xresources  Xsession.options
default-display-manager  X        Xreset    Xsession    XvMCConfig
fonts                    xinit    Xreset.d  Xsession.d  Xwrapper.config

doesn't have XF86Config

 capabilities("X11")
 X11 
TRUE 
names(X11Fonts())
[1] "serif"        "sans"         "mono"         "Times"        "Helvetica"   
[6] "CyrTimes"     "CyrHelvetica" "Arial"        "Mincho" 


Then, I installed xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi (Ubuntu-based).
xset -q #output


Font Path:
  /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,built-ins

Lisa.
