[Sparapani, Rodney]

Hi Johannes:

What happens if you try this on the R-GUI for Windows?  Thanks

Not sure if it is a problem which can be fixed within ESS but it occurs within

a frame which has been opened by entering

M-x run-ess-r-newest<RET>



After establishing a contact with dbConnect to a PostgreSQL database, emacs

displays in a frame showing the R console in- and outputs in a compromised form

if the characters are non-ASCII.



> tbl(con_cbo, "ref_gkz")

# Source:   table<ref_gkz> [?? x 3]

# Database: postgres  [johannes using somehostname/somepath]

      id gkz      region

   <int> <chr>    <chr>

 2     2 05112000 Duisburg, Stadt

 3     3 05113000 Essen, Stadt

 4     4 05114000 Krefeld, Stadt

 5     5 05116000 Mönchengladbach, Stadt

 6     6 05117000 Mülheim an der Ruhr, Stadt

7     7 05119000 Oberhausen, Stadt

 8     8 05120000 Remscheid, Stadt

10    10 05124000 Wuppertal, Stadt

# ℹ more rows

# ℹ Use `print(n = ...)` to see more rows



Note that info symbols generated by R are rendered properly. Interestingly,

when I copy an excerpt of the above into *scratch* and enter M-x

hexl-mode<RET>, I get the message “Unknown EOL format in coding system: utf-8”

shown in the *Messages* buffer. When I remove the end-of-line characters, I am

able to switch to hexl-mode, only to discover that the mangled umlauts are

represented by four characters while the ASCII signs contain one character, for

instance,

4d c3 83 c2 bc 6c 68 65 69 6d for Mülheim.

Anything that can be done to ease my pain?
