Dear sir/madam,

I encountered some problems when running R on my computer. To be honest, I
am only a beginner of computer programming and I have no idea how to deal
with it. I have tried to change the font in "system preference" but it did
not work. Can you tell me how to get it right?

Chinese readers may have better advice, but take a look at

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Internationalization-of-the-R_002eapp

-pd
The system of my computer is Mac OS snow leopard

The warnings are like these:

During startup - Warning messages:

1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C"

2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C"

3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C"

4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C"

5: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C"

[R.app GUI 1.52 (6188) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0]

WARNING: You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters
will work.

Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and adjust your system
preferences accordingly.

I look forward to your reply and thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

Wendy
