Greetings. I'm trying to label some points using the identify() command. The labels and the coordinates are coming from a csv file. The file encoding is UTF-8. If I use labels in Latin characters, everything comes out OK. But when I switch to using labels in Cyrillic, I get garbage. To check that my file is not corrupt, I've attempted to create the labels using the text() command and just typing text in Russian into the R prompt (my locale is set to UTF-8). Once again, I get garbage. My R version is 2.6.2 running on 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy.
