[R-sig-Geo] degAxis() does not print degree symbol

[Edzer Pebesma]

I think your question has little to do with sp, or with r-sig-geo. If
the command

plot(1); title(parse(text="52*degree*North"))

gives the same problem (no degree sign), I would advice searching, and
in case of no success posting to r-help, mentioning your locale.
