Non-unicode alternative for Greek letters #340

Closed tsrobinson closed 1 month ago

tsrobinson commented 2 years ago

Hi there, I use your package when teaching undergraduates statistics and students really love the clarity of the output.

I'm running into a few issues where students with system language settings other than English get multibyte string errors when R tries to render the Greek letters in the output headings (using RStudio).

For example, when running contTables(), it seems to fail rendering the chi-2 heading:

Error in withCallingHandlers(expr, warning = function (w)... invalid multibyte string at '<cf><87><c2>?Tests'

I was wondering if in a future update it would be possible to have a non-unicode alternative for these headings, based on detecting a user's system language?

Thanks!

hmm, let me take a look. we may be able to address this.

but basically, we're all waiting for R 4.2 to come out to fix these issues once and for all:
