The subject line is untrue.
We recommend in 'Writing R Extensions' that you encode such characters
as \uxxxx sequences, in this case "\u00b0". However, this is more
likely to be a locale problem on the check server, as pgirmess checks
out on my Mac. In fact, the top of the log is
# using R version 2.11.0 beta (2010-04-12 r51689)
# using session charset: ASCII
# checking for file 'pgirmess/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
# this is package 'pgirmess' version '1.4.4'
# package encoding: latin1
and you cannot reencode latin1 to ASCII ....
I don't know why you would choose to use something that makes your
package fail on many Japanese or Greek or Russian systems, and of
course in C locales. Plotmath is portable, and these days "\u00b0" is
also pretty portable.
Thanks a lot. Strictly speaking, I did not choose: I was just not
familiar with \uxxxx encoding, and will document on it now I have a
good hint to start with...
Thanks again,
Patrick
