Dear List Members,

I am working on a below piece of code: Initially have created pie
charts with Enlish labels to present the data for Czech Republic, now
however I need to print the label with original Czech fonts.

When I copy paste from Word, certain fonts get 'simplified' distorting
original spelling. How can solve this problem? Is there a package I
can download which will support special language characters?

This example is in Czech, however should i replicate it into other
languages with specific signs, is there any universal way to do that?

many thnx to everyone for help,

m.

Hi It as 12 hours since I have posted the question, could you let me
know if it had been approved?

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).
