lattice (!under development!) font curiosity - R-help

Perhaps this might be a font problem, it might be that my font dirs
are broken (but I don't think so, it is a standard potato inst.):

...displays German special characters false (as greek letters).

Curiously these work o.k.:

This isn't a really big problem (if it is one).

Interesting.

I have similar but different problems.
Using a redhat 6.2 version about whose X-fonts paths I've been having big
doubts for a long time;  
Anyway, here is what I get
  {for lattice-started X11();  
   by the way, with postscript() I do get pretty nonsense ..}

require(lattice)

                                        #  Redhat 6.2 as for Martin M?chler:
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main="?dsa") # ok
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=1))# ok
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=1.9))# Cyrillic "D|Sch|3|d|s|a"
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=2)) #ok
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=2.1))# Cyrillic
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=3))# Cyrillic
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=4))# Cyrillic
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=4.99))#Cyrillic
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=5))# __greek__ !!!!!
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=5.05))# greek
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=5.08))# greek
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=5.099))# greek
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=5.1))# Cyrillic again
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=5.4))# Cyrillic again
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=6))# Cyrillic again
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=7))# Cyrillic

Use trellis.device():
 
 trellis.device("postscript")
 require(lattice)
 xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ rnorm(10) ,main=list("???dsa",cex=6))# Cyrillic
again
 dev.off()

Not really nonsense, but 2 pages of output, the first blank, the second
with the expected result on WinNT.

Perhaps you have forgotten that "grid.start"

postscript("/tmp/tmp.ps")
grid.start()

                                                                    paste("???dsa\t",i),

dev.off()

then the output and all fonts are o.k. BTW: If you look at the ylabs
you see that the are centered at the plot region, not at the y-axis
(look at that one with cex=10).

That shows the superiority of debian ;-)...
