Subject: Sys.setlocale() and text()
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.
