Hello,
I installed R--2-1.14.1.pkg on mac OS v 10.7.2 and when I wanted to invoke hist, I got the following error msg:

Error in title(main = main, sub = sub, xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab, ...) : 
  could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops will operate in C locale
2: In function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  X cannot set locale modifiers


Should I have installed any package or should I install any thing else for X11 like free type-2.4.8? I have found some directories related to fonts but apparently, are useless for this purpose? I installed devpack4-darwin8-bin4 but didn't help.
