[R] Using East-european characters in R

[Petr Pikal]

Hi

It is hidden somewhere in docs (probably FAQs) and you can 
maybe find some answers in help archives.

Basically you probably need

- appropriate fonts set in Rconsole and Rdevga files (e.g. Courier 
instead of Courier New)

see attached my versions.

Cheers
Petr
