Hello,
I am running R 2.01 on SuSE 9.2 and I use GNU-Emacs and ESS.
When using umlauts like ä ö ü ß for e.g. plot titles , I enter them
directly in the code, like

plot(seq(from=-4,to=4,length=100),dnorm(seq(from=-4,to=4,length=100)),main="Gauß-Verteilung")

I get a dotted box just after the "Gau" and before the "ß" in the title.

Using the postscript device

postscript()
plot(seq(from=-4,to=4,length=100),dnorm(seq(from=-4,to=4,length=100)),main="Gauß-Verteilung")
dev.off()

I get two warning messages:

Warning messages:
1: font width unknown for character 142
2: font width unknown for character 142
and a space after the "Gau" and before the "ß".

I'd like to get rid of the extra space and the box before umlauts.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

Thanks,
~      Henning
