Sys.setlocale() and text()
Thanks very much for the response. I think I left out an important detail, however. I want my lowercase sigma to be displayed in a specific font from the Rdevga file (my project involves fonts). So far as I know, quote() does not allow me to select a font. Thus, I am specifically interested in the text() command and reasons why my example code performs differently in R 2.3.0 vs 2.6.1. Thanks, Ed

Dear HelpeRs,
I have a question about the Sys.setlocale() command and plotting. I am
running Windows XP, with R 2.6.1. My default locale is English_United
States.1252.
I am trying to add a lowercase sigma to a plot using the following code:
Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE","greek")
plot(1:10,1:10)
text(4,3,"\xF3")
For R 2.6.1, this code gives me the glyph from my default (1252) instead
of from the 1253 codes. For an older version of R (2.3.0) on the same
computer, this code gives me the lowercase sigma that I wanted. I have
been unable to pinpoint what has changed. Thanks for the help, and I
apologize if I am missing something obvious.
