[R] Fonts do not display properly on Red Hat

[michael watson (IAH-C)]

Brian

sessionInfo() gives me:

Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) 
i686-redhat-linux-gnu 

attached base packages:
[1] "methods"   "stats"     "graphics"  "grDevices" "utils"
"datasets" 
[7] "base"     

Thanks for the answer

Michael

Are you using a UTF-8 locale?  (You know, there are good reasons why the

posting guide asks for sessionInfo() output.)

If so, the problem is probably with the non-availability of fonts in 
ISO10646 encoding, and you may well find that the R update suggested 
(before posting) in the posting guide will help.  But you may have to
run 
R in e.g. en_GB to get satisfactory results from an old version of R on
an 
old OS.
