On a Mac running with a US locale, when I first type <option>-u (in
Mail.app that shows a highlighted "naked umlaut) and then type 'u' I
get:
ü
Similarly with opt-u, 'a'
ä

Dear R-Help,
is it possible to correctly display umlauts in a dataset, which has
been created under WINXP, on a Mac-system?
This is the problem:
I have imported a German MS-Access database into R 2.14.1 by using
RODBC on a WINXP-System. It runs with a Latin-1 encoding (codepage
1252). However, most of the work is done with a Mac (UTF-8 encoding)
and the R-dataset has been transferred to the MAC. Here, umlauts
are displayed as \x.. (i.e. \xe4 instead of ä). If I set the locale
to Sys.setlocale(locale="de_DE.ISO8859-15"), umlauts are displayed
as black diamonds.
Since it is awkward to enter \x-codes when I work with the dataset,
I would rather use the umlauts. Is there a way?
Thanks, FB
