This is a standard error message of Xlib indicating what it doesn't 
understand system locale (command locale). You should tweak your system 
settings or (as a workaround) you can set locale to default posix one 
(export LC_ALL=POSIX) before calling R (for example add this line to R 
script) - although in this case you will have only ASCII charset
