Initial Comment:
rkward (version 0.4.9/0.5.0b, Ubuntu package) fail to show international characters: my native language - Lithuanian - characters, when entered in a plot dialog, display as ??? in the command code (and in the command output, of course).

See the screenshot for a proof.

Hi!

I believe, this bug should be fixed in the current development sources (
http://p.sf.net/rkward/svn ). If you can get a chance to test, that would
be really helpful, as encoding problems like this often depend on several
parameters, which makes them hard to test.

Regards
Thomas

Ok, thanks for your feedback.

This is probably to be blamed on the PHP backend (which is responsible for
generating the command code). We are planning to switch to a different
scripting solution relatively soon, and therefore I will not address this
issue, specifically, until we have completed the switch.

When the new solution is ready for testing, I'll give you another note in
this bug ticket.

And, to your last question: other KDE apps do display Lithuanian characters
just fine.

Message:
Here are the outputs you asked for
Tested on Kubuntu 9.04 i386
RKward version 0.5.1-pre3, package provided through rkward repositories

The bug is still there; by the way, it has been there since RKward 0.47
and maybe before, thought I have not tested before 0.47

in Konsole window:

dg at bala:~$ locale
LANG=lt_LT.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=lt_LT:lt:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="lt_LT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


and in rkward console:

> Sys.getlocale()
[1]
"LC_CTYPE=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_NAME=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_ADDRESS=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_TELEPHONE=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_MEASUREMENT=lt_LT.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=lt_LT.UTF-8"

Message:
Could you post the output of
   locale
run in a plain console, and
   Sys.getlocale ()
run in the RKWard R console?

Do other KDE applications display native characters ok?

Thanks.
