I ran into an odd problem with the print command for R-2.0 on a windows machine.
The icelandic character thorn (�,�) which is included in in the Latin-1
character set [iso/8859-1 char# 222 (upper case) and #254 (lower case)]
prints out incorrectly. Instead of getting the correct
character I get the octal codes for upper and lower case thorn (\336 or \376). This only happens on a windows machine, but not on a linux box.
This is not some problem generic to the Latin-1 characters. I get all accented characters correctly and also the character eth (��). Its only thorn thats problematic...
This problem also shows up on the commandline a <-"�" works ok, but print(a) or just: a returns the octal number.
However, when using THORN in plotlabels it works fine.
If anyone knows how to fix this I would be very happy to hear from them...
