Dear ESS team,

I am a Brazilian researcher using the last version of Vicent Goulet's
emacs(+ess) for Windows (23.2-modified-7 ; with ESS 5.11) on Windows (XP,
Vista and Windows 7, all in English).

My current problem is with encoding. When I write a word in Portuguese with
an accent or a character which is not used in English (such as á, à, ç, ê,
etc), although the character is correctly displayed on the emacs ".R"
buffer, I get a bizarre output either at the R console output or in
graphics. I tried to change emacs encoding to UTF-8. Although the ess output
was now corrected, the text displayed on R graphical devices was still
inadequate. However, when I use R (GUI) directly (not from emacs +ess), this
problem does not happen.


I have already visited many Portuguese Emacs help pages, trying to change my
.emacs file without success. I have also modified the Emacs Language
Environment to "European">"Brazilian Portuguese" (as well as "Windows-1255",
and all the "Latin-*" encodings) and nothing. Finally, I have also tried to
change the Windows system's language environment to Brazilian Portuguese,
and the problem persisted.

Could you please help me?

I do appreciate your attention. Sincerely,

Daniel C Bezerra
