Dear Duncan, thanks for your feedback on this. Even though most developers are not in Windows (which I doubt it), there are a huge number of people who use R on Windows and I am one of them who seriously work with R. Following my own workaround to this bug, now I hit another issue with another workaround when trying to render the Farsi Unicode characters. While these workarounds work in ad hoc, they are not appealing in all scenarios;I hit other problems related to this bug, e.g., when documenting a package with Roxygen2 package.
Please see the attached files (r scripts) for the complete bug report. thanks Farid On Sun, Aug 12, 2018 at 9:03 PM, Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.dun...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 12/08/2018 11:48 AM, Faridedin Cheraghi wrote: > >> that's right and I don't want to change my locale. my sessionInfo() : >> > > I think it could be another manifestation of a known bug on Windows, where > strings are converted from UTF-8 to the current locale and back to UTF-8, a > lossy conversion.
