 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 ‘CGFontGetGlyphPath’ is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming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.
 Sep 16 12:15:48 Kalles-MBP dot[704] <Error>: The function
 ‘CGFontGetGlyphPaths’ is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming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.

 Best regards,

 Kalle E.

Comment:

 Are you saying that in addition to seeing these messages about
 CGFontGetGlyphPath/CGFontGetGlyphPaths, your graph is not being created,
 when Graphviz is run via R? If so, do you see that same problem if you run
 the `dot` program yourself, with valid input and arguments?

 I am aware that these messages get printed by programs that use cairo
 (such as Graphviz), but to my knowledge they are just informational; they
 should not affect the functionality of the software at all. See #45599, of
 which this may be a duplicate.
