Thanks for that link, Wolfgang. Unfortunately,
there comes the Warning with it:
"(process:3634): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8
string passed to pango_layout_set_text()"
and decimal being "scrambled" in forest plot and
not displaying the midline decimal.
I think it has to do with the fact, that only
1-byte-codes are allowed for options(OutDec="\xB7").
Or does it have to do with me using Ubuntu?
I am not an expert on encodings but I think that
in Unicode it is indeed two bytes but for some
reason in the encoding used in Windows it is a
single byte. It may be that some expert in
encodings can tell you how to temporarily reset
your locale in Ubuntu but I am not that expert.
Apart from that the options-command does not
seem to change the decimal of values on the "true" x-axis under the plot.
Still searching for a solution.

I found this:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2012-August/321057.html
So, use this before drawing the forest plot:
options(OutDec="\xB7")
Best,

Subject: [R] metafor package: changing decimal
in forest plot to midline decimal
Dear R-Community,
I need to change the punctuation of the reported weights, effect sizes
and confidence intervals in a forest plot created with the
forest()-function in the metafor-package.
Midline decimal means that it looks like this (23ยท6) rather than that
(23.6).
Do I need to change the forest()-function and if yes which part exactly?
Or is there an otherway how I can do it maybe by changing the
rma()-function, of which the forest()-function is then applied to?
Thanks for any hints and tipps!
Cheers, Linde
