Yes, it is possible, but you do need your X11 system set up correctly for your UTF-8 locale (unstated). It looks like you have no suitable mappings of UTF-8 fonts in X11, or you are running in a locale unknown to X11. (Try using en_US.utf8 to test the latter possibility.) This is not an R issue. Remote debugging of X11 problems is virtually impossible: please check with local expertise. -- Brian D.
