Vojtěch,

Thanks for responding.  I should be clear that the web pages and server all
support UTF-8 quite well.

I am asking about using slavic letters with the caron/hacek symbol in R *
plots*.  Reading old messages I see that this has been a problem in past
years.  Can you -- or anyone else -- point me to some plots in R that have
Czech, Slovak or Polish text on them?  That would be the proof that it is
possible.  Then I would still need to figure out why my version fails to
print this text properly.

Here is an example of the problem I am seeing with Slovak text -- "Švajčiarsko"
comes out ".vaj.iarsko", "Štatisticky" becomes ".tatisticky", *etc*.:

Thanks in advance for any help.
