Install the appropriate fonts.

Given that you have ignored the request for 'at a minimum information' 
in the posting guide and not even told us what device you are using, we 
cannot help in more detail.

[Clearly this is a version of the X11() device, but there are two and 
how one of those does font selection varies between OS X and other 
Unix-alikes.  As a guess you are not using a cairographics-based device, 
and should be.  See capabilities("cairo").]
