hi dirk, i'm having an issue with grDevices, but the issue only seems to appear when i using my library with RInside on windows. one of the packages we use (ggjoy) calls the grDevices::pdf() function, which tries to load the enc/WinAnsi.enc file from grDevices package. however, as can be seen here https://jona.thon.love/rinside.png it doesn't look relative to the R_HOME, but to `C:\`. fossicking through the grDevices source code, i find this: https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/b7e8221be0266371b5b12e3549cf052c1eed10bc/src/library/grDevices/src/devPS.c#L507 suggesting that the value of this R_Home variable is an empty string however, the R_HOME environmental variable is set appropriately, and calling any number of the `R.home()`, `Sys.getenv('R_HOME')` return the expected value. further, this particular installation is used by tens of thousand of users, and produces plots fine ... this is the only exception we've found so far. you don't have any intuitions as to what may be the problem here, and how we could work around it? with thanks jonathon
