I did not find this in the archive (hope it isn't there...):
the current release of R (2.0.1) for MacOS (10.3.6) seems not to handle german special characters like 'Ã' correctly:
> f <- 'Ã'
can be entered at the prompt, but echoing the variable yields
[1] "\303\274" (I think the unicode of the character)
and inserting, for instance
text(1,2,f)
in some plot seems to insert two characters (âÂ) (probably an interpretation of the first and second group of the unicode?).
I believe, this is a R problem or is there a simple configuration switch?
thanks
joerg
