Re: [R] Locale problem with umlauts in factor levels in 2.7.0 (patched) from grid or lattice

2008-05-02 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
The bug is in grid, in some layout calculations which need the string 
width.  There was a 'FIXME' in the sources, and I've fixed this now. (svn 
r45579/80).  Many other grid examples worked so it took me a while to 
track this down.
