Hi,
First of all, thank you for you reply. It was very helpfull.
I have another problem: I have changed the locale to pt_pt.iso885...@euro. Now
the problem that I reported earlier doesnt occur .
print("dúvida")
[1] "dúvida"
My system information now is the following:
Sys.getlocale()
[1]
"lc_ctype=pt_pt.iso885...@euro;LC_NUMERIC=C;lc_time=pt_pt.iso885...@euro;lc_collate=pt_pt.iso885...@euro;
LC_MONETARY=C;lc_messages=pt_pt.iso885...@euro;lc_paper=pt_pt.iso885...@euro;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;
LC_TELEPHONE=C;lc_measurement=pt_pt.iso885...@euro;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C"
[daniel.fernan...@pt-lnx13 ~]$ locale
lang=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_ctype=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_numeric=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_time=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_collate=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_monetary=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_messages=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_paper=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_name=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_address=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_telephone=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_measurement=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
lc_identification=pt_pt.iso885...@euro
LC_ALL=
However, if I utilise the tcltk package and try to build a frame with the label
dúvida the string appears incorrect. My guess is that this problem is also
related with the locales. Does Tcl/tk utilise a different locale?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
