I think I received them correctly in Stefán's mail: Æ æ ó Ó Ð ð,í Í á Á é É ý Ý (although thorn þÞ seems missing from the list?) I too can use "Það er sætt" in plot labels, on 10.9.2 in en_US.UTF-8 locale. I think we need more info about what setup the students have been using. Having the locale set to "C" might cause something like the described effect. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ 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.
