Hi,
When I the following example source block in Org I get a plot in which
the non-ascii characters are replaced by double dots (namely, the
degree sign in `degrees C' and the `Å' in `År', Norwegian for `Year').
#+begin_src R :results graphics :file
~/Desktop/testplot-with-Babel.png :width 480 :height 360
temp <- c(15, 17, 16, 19, 17, 18)
year <- c(2000:2005)
plot(year, temp, xlab="År", ylab="°C")
#+end_src
It seems to be a Babel problem, since, R is working fine; the special
characters are preserved when I run the same script from the R command
line.
Compare the attached testplot-with-Babel.png and testplot.png.
I'm running up-to-date Org on GNU Emacs 24.1 compiled for Mac OS
10.6.8. My .emacs sets current-language-environment to "UTF-8".
Is this a bug, or is there a setting I should know about?
Yours,
Christian

Hi, Eric,
Thanks for taking a look. Sorry about messing up the special
characters in the email, I should have attached a proper text file.
But I did use valid UTF8 in Org: the same as in your example, code
points #xC5 and #xB0.
Evaluating your example on my Mac gives the same result as before:
Special characters are replaced with two dots. Tangling it and running
the tangled file works fine.
It's not really a problem, I can work around it with \u.... escapes,
which may be the safest approach anyway. But it's curious.
Since it works for you, it probably isn't Babel's fault. Maybe
something Mac-specific in the communication between Emacs and the
shell. Maybe there's a setting I can change, but all the variables
I've been able to think of already default to utf-8-unix.
Yours,
Christian
