[R] special characters in linux using dev.print

Hi List,

I want to print ? in a lattice graph label. This works in windows, but the linux
version has problems - it cannot translate the character. Error is "invalid
input in mbcsToLatin1".

I use the standard encoding and also
dev.print(file="filename",dev=pdf, encoding="PDFDoc.enc")

I am afraid I don't know enough about the linux font encodings to figure out
what to use. So I am hoping others using ? have already come across the trap.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Herry
