dot[704] <Error>: The function ‘CGFontGetGlyphPath’ is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update...

Hi!

I am running R (a free software for statistical computing, URL ​http://www.R-project.org/) on my MacBook Pro (OS X Yosemite, ver. 10.10.5) and using its package “semPLS” to estimate the structural equation model by Monecke & Leisch (2012) (see the enclosed article). Everything works well until I try to obtain graphical representations of the results with the function “pathDiagram()” that creates a graph in the DOT language (Gansner et al. 2006). A prerequisite for this is that Graphviz (AT&T Research 2009) is available on the system; I did install it following the instructions given by MacAppStore.org.

The R command and the following comment by the estimator are as follows:

R > pathDiagram(ecsi, file = "ecsiStructure", full = FALSE, edge.labels = "both", output.type = "graphics", digits = 2)

Running  dot -Tpdf -o ecsiStructure.pdf  ecsiStructure.dot 

The error message that I received is as follows:

Sep 16 12:15:48 Kalles-MBP dot[704] <Error>: The function ‘CGFontGetGlyphPath’ is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.

I would be very grateful if you could guide me to solve the problem.
