I installed r 2.6.0-1 (statistical software) using pacman. I work fine until I try to execute the "fix" command.
Example:
> test <- data.frame(ONE = c(2, 1, 3, 2, 1),
+ TWO = c("a", "a", "b", "a", "b"),
+ AGE = c(42, 18, 49, 62, 25))
> fix(test)
Error in dataentry(datalist, modes) : invalid device
In addition: Warning message:
In edit.data.frame(get(subx, envir = parent), title = subx, ...) :
unable to create fontset -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
>I don't have any idea what's wrong, I'm new to R... however it works ok on FreeBSD (but I like Arch better), it opens a tcl/tk like, ugly window for data entry.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I encountered same problem but I rebuild without Multi-byte character set and it worked, just added --disable-mbcs to PKGBUILD, the price is that R built that way doesn't have UTF-8 support so this isn't solution just workaround
regards,
Andrzej.
ps.: tried it with R-2.6.1 but it should be same
edit: found real solution... ensure you have installed xorg-fonts-100dpi package and you have those 2 lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"it worked for me and allow to build with utf-8 support

Andrzej, thank you very much, your last solution works perfectly. (I forgot about this old post, but it's very helpful nevertheless).
