Hi,
I have read some of the documentation relative to character encodings and
non-standard fonts (including previous answered questions and the 2006-2 R
issue), but I am still struggling with very basic plotting of Chinese text.
I am using R for Mac OS X GUI 1.35-dev Leopard build 32-bit.
I have a network, g, of Chinese characters (each node is a Chinese
character) and I can handle it and display it fine within R using package
igraph. For example, the names of the nodes are correctly displayed:
V(g)$name
[1] "精" "神" "市" "场" "思" "想" "什" "么" "地" "区" "科" "学" "历" "史" "没" "有" "自"
"己" "影" "响" "改" "革" "关" "这" "一" ....
However, when I try to plot this network, node names display incorrectly. I
noticed that it is not just node names. Also title, axes names, etc do not
display.
For example:
x<-c(1,2,3)
plot(x,x,main="title is 精")
outputs the image attached.

What is the simplest way to display these non-standard fonts in a R plot?
Well, no, it doesn't (it plots on the screen device). So exactly how
are you producing the plot?
Almost certainly this needs to be moved to R-sig-mac since you
are/should be using Mac-specific graphics devices and fonts.
Note too that we really do need the 'at a minimum' information we
asked for in the posting guide, including your locale.
Thanks,
Alberto Pepe
