Which messages? R.app and R itself handle this differently for their

You will find a discussion in the 'R Installation and Administration'
manual. You don't give an address, but I suspect you are in a
Spanish-speaking locale. I believe the Mac OS port of R uses the stanard
libintl from the R sources, in which case you can read for yourself how
libintl determines the message language in the src/extra/intl directory.
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.
Set the environment variable LANGUAGE to en.
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?
Wrong list here, but again, likely to be a locale problem. The R posting
guide asks for the output of sessionInfo() for a good reason.
Thank you so much.
Best regards,
Ricardo
