This relates to the problem I'm trying to resolve here: Printing UTF-8 (Russian) characters in R, Rmd, knitr.
I was told that this problem does not exist if native locale was en_US.UTF-8
. (My current native locale is English_Canada.1252
.)
But I cannot just simply change my English_Canada.1252 to en_US.UTF-8. - When I try I get this error message:
> Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "en_US.UTF-8")
OS reports request to set locale to "en_US.UTF-8" cannot be honored[1] ""
Any idea how to resolve it?
