Dear Simon, First the bug: R GUI version 1.17-pre (3821), Mac OS X system 10.4.7 on intel core duo. Whenever (or almost) I save the content of the quartz device (the graphics window) to a file, the window "Save Content of Quartz Device to PDF File" remains (or rather comes back) after pressing on the save button. Furthermore this window cannot be closed, except by quiting the R GUI.
Now the request: UTF-8 encoding support. Since I have started working with csv files encoded in UTF-8 (which appears to be the native.enc in OS X) I have had quite a headache subsetting dataframes by values of a given factor (with text encoded in UTF-8 I pressume). For instance "Compañia" appears as "Compa\361ia". It goes beyond just looks, working with an external editor (TextMate), I cannot use "Compañia" nor "Compa\361ia", but "Compa\\361ia" for instance for subseting on a factor with this value. This is hardly optimal and was wondering when the encoding issues are going to be solved on the OS X platform this problem does not appear in windows, partly I suppose as the csv files come form that platform... many thanks in advance Ivan _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
