Dear R-Help, is it possible to correctly display umlauts in a dataset, which has been created under WINXP, on a Mac-system? This is the problem: I have imported a German MS-Access database into R 2.14.1 by using RODBC on a WINXP-System. It runs with a Latin-1 encoding (codepage 1252). However, most of the work is done with a Mac (UTF-8 encoding) and the R-dataset has been transferred to the MAC.

Now, with samba 3.0.0final-1 (from Debian/sarge), I tried

Dear R-users, I have a file containing names of German students. These names contain the characters "?", "?" or "?" (German umlauts).

I am developing an application in German. This means I have umlauts. When I was using rails version 0.13.1 there seemed to be no further configuration needed for umlauts to be shown correctly.

Dear all, which font do I have to choose to use German umlauts at x/ylab in plot? Do I have to change Rdevga; and how? Or should I use these Hershey vectors?
