Re: [R] UTF8
As far as I can see it, those are two problems. The default locale and the language problem. I have exactly the same, I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8. I have also tried installation of packages. When installing a package I get a related error message: *tar: Failed to set default locale* if I enter * Sys.getlocale()* the results is *[1]=C* so, I guess I have to tell R that the default system disk it shall work with is Macintosh HD ... but how do I do that? Additionally I have this language/ASCII problem, and the help suggested by the R Cran Project (to enter *defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG 'en_US'.UTF-8*) does not work. I get the message *Error: unexpected symbol in defaults write* I am new to R and just installed it onto my computer, after a basic training course ... maybe someone could help us?

They are for your geographic location (to have reasonable defaults for language and character sets), not for manipulating your hardware settings. ?locales You should also post Mac-specific questipn to the Mac-SIG list and even more important describe what you are trying to do. -- David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT __ 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.

The error message makes me wonder if you are trying to install a source package without the correct settings and software, but that is very much a wild guess in the absence of those missing elements. if I enter * Sys.getlocale()* the results is *[1]=C* It would be much better if you abandoned the convention of sticking asterisks at the ends of output. People cannot tell whether those are actually there. (I suspect not on the basis of my experience.) so, I guess I have to tell R that the default system disk it shall work with is Macintosh HD ... but how do I do that? Additionally I have this language/ASCII problem, and the help suggested by the R Cran Project (to enter *defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG 'en_US'.UTF-8*) My settings do not have the single quotes around: en_US.UTF-8 does not work. I get the message *Error: unexpected symbol in defaults write* Tjat looks like an R message. It appears you are entering that string at the R console. It is only going to work if you use it in a Terminal session ( _without_ the asterisks and probably _without_ the unnecessary single quotes.) I am new to R and just installed it onto my computer, after a basic training course ... maybe someone could help us? You appear to also need to spend time studying the Mac OS, since you are conflating OS commands with R commands. I suggest you first read through the Mac R FAQ before doing anything more to alter your system settings.

[R] utf8 postscript cyrillic
Dear R users, I am running R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26). I need to prepare an eps graphic with a legend with cyrillic words. I tried setting the encoding parameter of the postscript command, but in vain, nothing seems to work. I tried with CP1251, KOI8-R, UTF-8 and Cyrillic (UTF-8 turned out to not be available under /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/enc). All I get is in the final inscription. Has someone been successful in producing postscript legends with cyrillic words and how? Is the encoding the only thing to be tweaked? I would be glad if you share your experience.

Re: [R] utf8 postscript cyrillic
'Nothing seems to work' is not at all helpful, and you seem under the misconception that PostScript supports UTF-8 (sic): life would be much easier for device writers if it did. The postscript() help page says More details of font families and encodings and especially handling text in a non-Latin-1 encoding and embedding fonts can be found in Paul Murrell and Brian Ripley (2006) Non-standard fonts in PostScript and PDF graphics. _R News_, 6(2):41-47. URL: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2006-2.pdf. which shows Cyrillic examples.

[R] utf8 encoding and postscript
Hello! I wrote a script file with the following commands postscript() [...] barplot(pr, xlab=Länge) In the output file (Rplots.ps) the german umlaut is printed as L..nge. How could I set the encoding correctly? Thanks for any help or tip. I am using R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20) on openSuSE.

[R] UTF8
Hi, I am trying to get R 2.8.0 for Mac OS from CRAN, but I thing I am doing something wrong because when R starts I have annoying error messages: During startup - Warning messages: 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using C 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using C 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using C 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using C WARNING: You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters will work. Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and adjust your system preferences accordingly. I have tried all suggestions in such section 9 but still get the same error message. If you can give me some another suggestion It would be very nice.
