Subject: special language character in a pie chart
In-Reply-To: <CACvKwTRfKhUzM7W6LS+VzxZ4sx0dP+yrmN0xbCwbD2RSKr7gMA@mail.gmail.com>
Please see the posting guide, and supply the information you were
asked for (and read the relevant manuals).
What OS?
What locale?
What graphics device?
No extra support is needed: R handles Czech characters perfectly well
in a Czech locale (or any UTF-8 locale provided you have the correct
fonts, including en_GB.UTF-8 on my system).
My guess is that you are on Windows: if so this is covered in the
rw-FAQ (see the posting guide).
