I think this needs to be taken off the bug repository and continued here. By 
now it seems pretty clear that this is not an R bug, but a local problem on 
Spencer's machine, likely connected to font configurations.

Or even on R-sig-Mac.

I poked around a bit on the three Macs that I can access, and found that 
fc-match does different things, including throwing warnings, hanging and even 
crashing my old MB Air...

One possible reason is that it can apparently be installed in multiple 
locations, for reasons lost in the mists of time:

Notice that these are all different, no links. I guess that the ones you want 
are in /opt/X11, presumably installed by XQuartz.

Yes, for the device compiled into the CRAN binary R package. (Other builds may differ.) On that, the cairo-based devices such as svg() are linked to (current versions on my machine)

        /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 
1.2.5)
/opt/X11/lib/libcairo.2.dylib (compatibility version 11403.0.0, current version 11403.6.0) /opt/X11/lib/libpixman-1.0.dylib (compatibility version 35.0.0, current version 35.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.2.0)
...


So, going out on a limb, I have two ideas:

(A) Rebuild the font cache with

/opt/X11/bin/fc-cache -vf

(B) Check that XQuartz is up to date (possibly reinstall it, even if it is)

(B) is expected to do (A). My advice was going to be to reinstall xquartz: macOS updates can partially break it.

      ** The axis labels are appropriately expanded with the first
"plot(1:2, cex.axis=2)".  However, when I wrote that to an svg file
and opened it in other applications (GIMP and Safari), the cex.axis
request was ignored.  This also occurred inside RStudio on my Mac. It
worked properly using R 3.2.1 under Windows 7.


    I just confirmed that when I created a file like this under Windows 7
    and brought it back to my Mac, it displayed fine.  I have not tried this
    with the current version of R under Windows 7 nor an old version of R on
    my Mac.  Thanks.  Spencer
