Upon further inspection, I think these are at least two problems. First the issue with printing latin1/cp1252 characters in the "80" to "9F" code range. x <- c("?", "?", "?") Encoding(x) print(x) I assume that these are Unicode escapes!? (Given that Encoding(x) shows "latin1" I'd rather expect latin1/cp1252 escapes here, but

Hello, I used with happiness Samba 2.2.3. Everything works perfectly but I noticed two problems with accented characters; the first one on Samba, the other one on Swat. I work with a win98 client and a Debian server. Win98 use codepage 850 but I noticed, in fact, it use codepage 1252 and I suppose that conversion is made with a file called 12520850.cpx. On my Linux box I set up codepage

This is a follow-up on my initial posts regarding character encodings on Windows (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-August/074728.html) and Patrick Perry's reply (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-August/074830.html) in particular (thank you for the links and the bug report!). My initial posts were quite chaotic (and partly wrong), so I am trying to clear things up a

Dear R People: I'm trying to replicate something that I saw on an R blog. The first step is to load in the .rda file, which is fine. However, some of the names of the columns in the data frame have special characters, accents, and such. How do I get around this on a basic keyboard, please? Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Thank you!. My apologies again for not including the console output in my message before. I sent another e-mail with the output in the meantime, so it should be a bit clearer now, what I am seeing. In case I missed something, please let me know. Yes, I am using latin1 and cp1252 interchangebly here, mostly because Encoding() is reporting the encoding as "latin1". You presumed correctly

The Wine development release 1.6-rc5 is now available. What's new in this release (see below for details): - Bug fixes only, we are in code freeze. The source is available from the following locations: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.6-rc5.tar.bz2 http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/wine/source/1.6/wine-1.6-rc5.tar.bz2 Binary packages for various distributions will be available

I can reproduce this behavior on my Windows 10 system in RGui (cp1252): when I paste the Unicode infinity symbol into the console, it is treated as number 8. This is caused by Windows "best fit" default behavior in conversion of unicode characters to characters in the current native encoding: at some point in the past, 8 has been chosen as a good fit for infinity in Windows. In my

You seem confused about Latin-1: those characters are not in Latin-1. (MicroSoft code pages are a proprietary encoding, some code pages such as CP1252 being extensions to Latin-1.) You have not given the 'at a minimum information' asked for in the posting guide so we have no way to reproduce this, and without showing us the output on your system, we have no idea what you saw. [As a

Hello Because I want to use different true type fonts with latex, I''m using the XeTeX typesetting engine for my sweave-documents. I''m using Lyx with Sweave on a Windows 7 PC and have set up LyX to work with XeTeX according to the following instructions: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX Because the input file for XeTeX is assumed to be in UTF-8 encoding, I set the encoding

8. You have join to this mail a text file with the few characters that don't = match. On Swat, it's easier. = I use Swat from my win98 box. When I write a share comment with some chara= cters, there are not translated properly inside smb.conf file. = When I read my smb.conf file, I noticed that for example a cp1252 characte= r like (0xC1) has been changed onto an ISO8859-15 character

Hi Tomas, I received a report about R 4.0.0 in the knitr package (https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues/1840), and I think it is related to the issue here. I created a minimal reproducible example below: owd = setwd(tempdir()) z = 'K\u00e4sch.txt' file.create(z) list.files() file.exists(list.files()) setwd(owd) Output: > owd = setwd(tempdir()) > z = 'K\u00e4sch.txt' >

Hi all :-P , I want to browse Arabic characters with Wine, but i noticed that wine don't show them perfectly, although i installed extra font to it (i copied windows fonts and put them in .wine folder in home path). How i can solve this problem? -- Best Regards ?????? Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi ???? ???? ??????? My Blog ?????? http://hali-sy.com/

It would be nice if R ignored more unicode white space characters. For example, if I have "\u2028" in a command (which I get from a line-break in keynote) I get the following error: > qplot(carat, price, data = diamonds, colour=clarity) Error: unexpected input in "qplot(carat, price, data = diamonds, ?" And occasionally have such problems when copying and pasting from

Dear SavioRs, I am doing some research where characters in different microsoft fonts serve as experimental stimuli. Hence, in plot labels, I would like to display the characters in specific microsoft fonts. I have figured out how to display letters and numbers, but I am having trouble with symbols such as capital delta. Before I go further, I am using R 2.2.1 on Windows XP with everything

Hi David, I have a copy of Windows that I bought a year or two ago, but never really used it, as I preferred to use Linux. Got it just in case I needed the license, I guess now I can put it to use. Me paying for the Windows copy should include the fonts, right? It's working now, and showing the fonts. Thanks a lot :-D Now all that I have left is to get the characters to attach, and I

Hi Railers, For some time now I''ve been looking for a decent Rails equivalent of PHP''s "htmlentities" command, because ERB''s html_escape (or more commonly called as just "h", eg. <%=h @somevariable %> ) just doesn''t go far enough for me. Back in PHP land, I actually had an extended version of the htmlentities command to deal with

Again (as earlier last week) it happened that some of the postings to R-help were using a version of unicode that seemed invalid to the unicode-handler (for the digest) inside Mailman (the mailing list software). As a consequence, yesterday's and today's daily digests were not sent out. This time, it ended up better and worse: Better is that, thanks to google, I found a patch to the

Hi, I have a problem with rsync. I couldn't find very much information about this issue, so maybe somebody knows a hint how I could figure out this problem. I want to rsync from a linux box (ext2 filesystem) to mac os x (hfs+ filesystem). Unfortunately, special characters (like umlauts) are handled different - linux uses unicode in my case, while os x seems to use another notation

Hi all, I hope that there is someone that can help me out here. I am trying to load() a workspace on os x (R 2.11.0) that was saved in windows XP (R 2.9). In that workspace, there's a data.frame with names that contain swedish characters. These characters become garbled, which is a major problem. >From the R windows FAQ, I read: "Note though that character data in a workspace will be
