It displays sensibly (at least I think so, not being a reader of any Scandinavian language) on my Mac (10.5.6).

Hi,
I ran into this issue previously and managed to solve it, but I've
forgotten how and am getting frustrated...

I have a data frame (see below) with scandinavian characters in R
(2.7.1) running on a Win Xp-computer. I save the data frame in an
RData-file on a usb stick, and load() it in R (2.8.0) running on OS X
10.5. Now the name of the data frame and all factor labels with
scandinavian characters are scrambled. How do I make R in OS X read my
data frame?
From what I've managed to find in the list archives and the FAQ I either
1) run
Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","en_US.UTF-8") ### Doesn't change anything
or
2) run
 defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
in the terminal, which doesn't help either.
I must admit that I couldn't quite follow what documentation i found
on locales, so I might have messed up somewhere along the line.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Gustaf
