No labels when plotting - no font could be found for family 'Arial'

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as in this thread:

Help on warning message "no font could be found for family 'Arial'" General

When I run that code I don't have any errors or warnings (see reprex below). The message; is telling you that if you run warnings() in your console, R will report what those warning messages are. Also note that warnings don't necessarily stop your code. For details; https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/warning.html plot(cars, sub="Test", xlab = "Speed (mph)", ylab = "Stopping distance (ft)", las = 1, xlim = c(0, 25)) [image] Created on 2019-05-29 by the reprex package (v0.2.1) Also note that this isn't a reprex. Here's a nice video that walks you through how to get that. Reproducible examples are useful (if not essential) to diagnosing p…

However, none of the posted solutions are working for me. I've even gone so far as to try a fresh install of the OS (MacOS 10.15.5). Any assistance in diagnosing the problem would be much appreciated. Let me know what other information I can provide.

Thanks!

After trying fix after fix, I think the following finally worked for me:

sudo atsutil databases -remove
reboot

One more update in that this fix seems to hold only temporarily and I ultimately have to go through the steps again to get my fonts back. It's a workaround for now, but would love some insight on how I could fix it permanently.
