How exactly are you doing this (see the footer of your message for the
input we asked for)? What is your 'minimal, self-contained, reproducible
code', and where is the output of sessionInfo()?
The plusminus symbol is in the symbol font, and it is also in some text
encodings, so there are several routes you could have taken. For example,
pdf()
plot(1:10)
text(4,5,"\u00B1")
works for me in a UTF-8 locale. (It works in any locale that has the
symbol in its encoding.)

Hi List,
I want to print ± in a lattice graph label. This works in windows, but
the linux version has problems - it cannot translate the character.
Error is "invalid input in mbcsToLatin1".
I use the standard encoding and also dev.print(file="filename",dev=pdf,
encoding="PDFDoc.enc")
I am afraid I don't know enough about the linux font encodings to figure
out what to use. So I am hoping others using ± have already come across
the trap.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Herry
