Bug Description
Binary package hint: r-base
The R package (r-base and r-core) is unable to plot graphs when the function plot() is used. The apparent cause is that X11 font path is not correct set either when compiling R or it changed from the previous version of X to the current one.
As a observation that can be helpful. I used R in Dapper (compiled by myself) and it worked fine in X but showed the same error when using Xgl.
To reproduce the error just start R and try to use the plot() function.

Also here, with same R-Version as above
Trying to execute demo(), plot(x,y) tends to result in an error message:
Error in X11() : kann keine X11 Schriften finden; Bitte Fontpath überprüfen
Error in X11(): could not find any X11 fonts; Check that the Font Path is correct
Same procedure with R --gui=tk or gnome. To reproduce try to start R and execute any plot command
Any help is highly welcome
