Yes this is what  I wanted. Thanks. locale in R is iso88597 and data objects
with iso88597 is readble.

For now it is not usable to do something like this. I have to do some
testings on some problems and report later. For example if I do rk.print()
with greek characters (wichecer of the two encodings I use) I do not have
something readable at the output. The fonts used can not used with dev.copy(),
or with png.  Although the X11 device gives a right plot, cannot be copied.
For now only X11, postscript and pdf devices works (they have the family
option). I will try to see what can I get from this, and we will if and what
we can do.

One last question. With konsole after turning R locale to iso I have to
change the konsole encoding, through settings>encoding. Is this also done
with the above command?

Thanks,
Ilias
