Hi! In R 1.6.1. for Windows using RGui interface I try to use characters of Slovenian alphabet. Slovenia is a small Slavic country south of Austria with 3 characters which are not found in English alphabet, namely C, S and Z- all with caron. As S and Z are presented OK in both Console and Graphics window, this is not the case with C caron, which is shown as E acute- for an example please see: http://www.sp.uni-lj.si/bojan/statuni/datoteke/temp/q.gif (In RTerm problem is even worse - all characters are wrong. I don't want to bother you with RTerm, because I rarely use it). Any idea? Thanks in advance, Bojan Leskosek University of Ljubljana Slovenia

R just asks Windows which characters are which, and Windows sometimes lies.

Rjust >asks Windows which characters are which, and Windows sometimes lies. I try on 3 different versions: Win'98 Slovenian, Win 2000 English and Win XP Slovenian. Result is allways the same (http://www.sp.uni-lj.si/bojan/statuni/datoteke/temp/q.gif). Therefore, it seems to me that result is *not* connected with the OS version(?). Will someone please try this on his computer? C caron Unicode is 010C (uppercase) and 010D (lowercase C caron). Regards, B. Lesko?ek
