The cited discussion is useful even though the topic is still difficult for me. I am in Spain and in a Spanish locale. Mac preferences take care of it. By changing it to, for instance, an UK one together with English as language, shows all messages in English. As far as I can read in the manual, it is possible to overwrite the O.S. settings with startup options. I will try to do that after studying the documentation. There is still another problem related with fonts that is making me nuts: are fonts used for quartz() output independent from locale and language settings? For instances, any á, é, í or whatever accented vowel or ñ prevents the string containing this character for being rendered, for instance, in the labels of a barplot. Please, could you give me a path to solve this issue? Thank you so much.
