GNU/Linux; obtained locale settings like so: Sys.localeconv() decimal_point thousands_sep grouping int_curr_symbol "." "" "" "GBP " currency_symbol mon_decimal_point mon_thousands_sep mon_grouping "£" "." "," "\003\003" positive_sign negative_sign int_frac_digits frac_digits "" "-" "2" "2" p_cs_precedes p_sep_by_space n_cs_precedes n_sep_by_space "1" "0" "1" "0" p_sign_posn n_sign_posn "1" "1" The unicode was in the 'mtext...' command, but it seems that the mailing list server does not accept UTF-8. Tried to set this encoding: postscript([filename],encoding='UTF-8',...) Error in postscript([filename], encoding = "UTF-8", : failed to load encoding file in postscript() In addition: Warning message: In postscript([filename], encoding = "UTF-8", : failed to load encoding file 'UTF-8' > If you intended a subscript 2, use plotmath.

Thanks, the result is adequate, although the position of the subscript doesn't look pleasing personally. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
