Thank you for the reply. However, as long as your code works perfectly
(apart from centering, which you mentioned), I am still unable to get the
characters for instance in axis labels. Here's what I do:

postscript("test.ps", enc="ISOLatin2.enc")
plot(somedata, log="xy" ..., xlab="Cz\234sto\182\230 wyst\234powania")
dec.off()

This way I get blanks instead of the characters and a couple of warning
messages (~"character width unknown"). The characters do show up on your
table. What am I doing wrong?
