similar to: encoding issues even w/o accents

Hi, I am sorry to bother you with such a (presumably) simple question, but I have spent a couple of hours browsing the net and R documentation and came up with no answer to it. My problem is that I need to use Latin2 (ISO8859-2) characters in my plots. Adding an encoding="..." parameter to the postscript function does not solve the problem, as the characters still don't show up.

Not sure if this is off topic, but there doesn''t seem to be an obvious place to ask this question. I am trying to use MacPorts to install mysql. I have xcode 3.0 and x11 XQuartz 2.1.6 installed. $PATH: /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/ local/bin:/usr/X11/bi When I sudo port install mysql5-server I receive: ---> Configuring mysql5 Error: Target

I am switching to a composite primary key (string and user ID) from the Rails conventional auto-incrementing integer primary ID. The table is large (2.5 million records) and I''d rather not discard the contents. The composite_primary_key gem doesn''t appear to support altering the table with a migration to do its magic, only creating a table from scratch. So I dumped the table

Hello. I want to write my notes in Sweave in my own language (spanish). But my language has accents and when I run Sweave in R to translate my Snw file into the tex file the accents are translated into unrecognizable characters. For example, the word "cami?n" (truck) is translated into "cami??n" Somebody knows how can I do it? One solution I don't like is using a

Hello, my application controller defines before_filter :set_charset def set_charset @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" end Everything is fine and accents are rendered correctly in the browser. However, when I call a controller/action from Ajax (Prototype), the charset is not taken in account and accents are garbage displayed (''?''

This is 1.3.1 on OpenBSD/amd64. The --no-utf8-convert option of metaflac(1) does not work for me: $ metaflac --no-utf8-convert --set-tag="Artist=?ou?l??ek" aladin.flac aladin.flac: ERROR: tag value for 'Artist' is not valid UTF-8 (You probably can't see the Czech letters properly in my mail, but that's beside the point.) Indeed, it is not valid UTF8 (it's LATIN2),

Hi! I have tried to print text with Latin-1 characters (????) from R to postscript and X11 window but when I'm using the interactive R-shell, I can't get them printed even from keyboard. Is there some configuration flags to use 7-bit or 8-bit character sets? TIA Juha -- : Juha Tikkanen -- juha.tikkanen at edita.fi -- http://www.edita.fi/ : : tel +358-9-566 0532 -- mob +358-40-557

Hi all, I can't fathom why the accented "?" in the following ggplot2 graph makes R hangs when using tikzdevice,? whereas it works using simple pdf device. ###### library(tikzDevice) library(ggplot2) options(tikzDefaultEngine = "luatex") tikzLualatexPackages =c( ?

Hello Could someone please direct me to the correct commands for adding accents (grave and aigu) to a letter in a plot title, label, or in added text? I'm sure there's a handy list somewhere, but I've failed in coming up with the correct search words to find it. Thank you muchly! Jen

Hello, I have some questions concerning encoding and package distribution. We develop the ade4 package. For some data sets included in the package, there are accentued character (e.g. ?,?...). The data sets have been saved using latin1 encoding, but some of us use utf-8 and can not see some data sets which contains accented chracters. e.g: librarry(ade4) data(rankrock) rankrock in this case,

Okay, I've had some fun there. Let me tell I am no samba pro, so the patch below _should be tested and tested again_ in _your_ environment before doing anything close to putting your patched samba into production. It can possibly break everything. You have been warned. The mail is somehow longish, because sending a quick (and dirty) patch without any explanation seems wrong to me. And

I upgraded R on windows xp from 2.12.2 to 2.13.1 and now I can not process Rnw files with windows cp1250 encoding. Sweave complains: file.Rnw declares an encoding that Sweave does not know about What can I do beside downgrade R? When will Sweave support more encodings? Has anybody found a solution? Regards, Tomaz

Hi, I''m a newcomer to Ruby and to Rails, and am having a problem with character encoding. Now, I know ruby doesn''t handle unicode...but, characters like ? (eacute) and ? (ccedil) are part of the iso-8859-1 charset, so it shouldn''t be a problem, right? But, for some reason, the string functions still seem to hang on those characters. As an example, in a brand new rails

I have a backup server (Linux Debian 3.1) that connects to several Windows 2000 and 2003 servers shares with smbmount 3.0.14a. This is how I mount the shares: smbmount "\\\\win2000\\inetpubd" /mnt/win2000/ -o username=backups,password=mypwd If I list items with accents, this is a sample of how they appear on the mounted share: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2005-12-01 16:45 D?but de

Hello, I have a few questions. I have network like this: (A)---------(MS)--------(SS)-------(B) | | inet (C) Ms and SS are linux servers with samba. others are workstations with WinMe. Can I make all subnets and all computers to see all computers on all subnets without using WINS? So A should see SS, B and C. Because between MS and SS is very long network

R-developers, I'm looking for some 'best practices', or perhaps an upstream solution (I have a deja vu about this, so sorry if it's already been asked). Problems occur when a file is encoded as latin1, but the user has a UTF-8 locale (or I guess more generally when the input locale does not match R's). Here are two examples from the Bioconductor help list:

I've imported a .csv file where character strings that contained accented characters were written as HTML character entities. Is there a function that works on a vector to translate them back to accented (latin1) characters? Some examples: > grep("&", author$lname, value=TRUE) [1] "Frère de Montizon" "Lumière" [3]
