R help - Jun 2004 - Greek fonts

Dear all,

 

 

I need Greek text in titles, axis labels, etc. for graphs.

The Graphs are produced in png-format - to use them later on in HTML
pages.

As the output has to be multilingual they are produced in a loop (for
each language).

The strings for the titles, labels ... are stored in a text file (Greek,
English, French...).

 

The only way I found so far - for Greek - is:

1)     change the Rdevga by adding Courier to the fonts (the only font
that worked for me).

2)     Change the "language for non-unicode programs" in the windows
setting to Greek

 

Is there a way to avoid changing the "setting for non-unicode
programs"
in windows. 

If I'm changing the setting to Greek, non uni-code characters of other
languages are not displayed correctly (ex. accents in French) 

 

Is there a way without changing the Rdevga in order to avoid
manipulation after installation of R. 

                        Something like par(font="Courier : plain")

 

 

I'm using 

R Version: 1.9

Windows: XP

 

Thank you in advance for any help

 

 

Johannes
