Hi,
There is a mistake in ISOLatin7.enc file which is shipped with grDevices
package. Instead of Umacron and umacron there are Ucirmcumflex and ucirmcumflex.
There is no U cirmcumflex in ISO Latin 7 encoding, as can be seen in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-13
and I also can report this as native Lithuanian speaker, since ISO Latin 7
encoding is used for Lithuanian and Latvian languages.
Steps to reproduce
1. In R issue commands :
postscript(file="test.ps",encoding="ISOLatin7")
plot(rnorm(100),main="Ūū")
dev.off()
When viewing postcript file instead of Ūū you will see Ûû.
Changing [uU]circumflex to [uU]macron in file ISOLatin7.enc fixes the problem.
