Don't try to do graphics in the C locale on your computer? I suspect this is a font problem in Windows, in that your fonts may be specific to the Thai localization. But without a means of reproducing this, I can only guess. If you can set up a debugger (see the rw-FAQ), you may be able to give us some additional clues as the where the crash is occuring. > And why does the crash not happen with earlier R versions (eg. 2.2.1) on the > same computer? Because of the issue mentioned in the CHANGES file, the change to the C locale was reverted by opening a graphics window. > > --- >> Sys.getlocale() > [1] > "LC_COLLATE=Thai_Thailand.874;LC_CTYPE=Thai_Thailand.874;LC_MONETARY=Thai_Thailand.874;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Thai_Thailand.874" > --- > > Thanks > Edward > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Prof Brian Ripley" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 2:32 PM > Subject: Re: [Rd] Sys.setlocale upsets windows graphics device (PR#8887) > > >> Works perfectly for me.
