Hello. Could someone help me? I can see Japanese language in R when I use RGui. I can use Japanese language in Emacs using Mule option. Now, Can I see Japanese language in R which is run with Emacs(ESS) ? I am using windows 98 second edition. Could someone help me ?

Reading ``Specify a Coding System'' in Emacs's Info may help you, I guess.

Dear Mr. Hiroto Miyoshi, I am a Japanese R user. I cannot understand what you actually want to know. (I need to say I use R from Linux, not from MS Windows.) You can insert and see Japanese in R code if your (X)Emacs has the mule (Japanized) option. This is so regardless to the use of ESS. I frequently insert Japanese comments in R codes. If your question is whether or not you can use Japanese symbols or names in R code, it seems problematic. I heard this is apparently OK, but actually it usually seems to cause some character coding problems later. If your question is whether or not you can use Japanese in graphic outputs, the answer is OK. type "help(Japanese") to R prompt. But the set of available Japanese characters is rather limited and you must input them by their code numbers. Experts can handle this problem by editing output ps file directly. You can see several discussions about the use of Japanese in R in past articles of R-jp (mailing list of a small Japanese R-user groups), see http://www.md.tsukuba.ac.jp/epidemiology/~mokada/ml/R-jp.html By the way, let me introduce my Japanese web-page http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~mase/ This page includes Japanese translation of two basic manuals "Introduction to R" and "Writing R Extensions" as well as translation of about half of R basic help manuals in html format. I hope they will help R-users in Japan. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Shigeru MASE <mase at is.titech.ac.jp> Dept. of Math. and Comp.
