GNU/Linux; obtained locale settings like so:
Sys.localeconv()
decimal_point thousands_sep grouping int_curr_symbol
"." "" "" "GBP "
currency_symbol mon_decimal_point mon_thousands_sep mon_grouping
"£" "." "," "\003\003"
positive_sign negative_sign int_frac_digits frac_digits
"" "-" "2" "2"
p_cs_precedes p_sep_by_space n_cs_precedes n_sep_by_space
"1" "0" "1" "0"
p_sign_posn n_sign_posn
"1" "1"
The unicode was in the 'mtext...' command, but it seems that the
mailing list server does not accept UTF-8. Tried to set this encoding:
postscript([filename],encoding='UTF-8',...)
Error in postscript([filename], encoding = "UTF-8", :
failed to load encoding file in postscript()
In addition: Warning message:
In postscript([filename], encoding = "UTF-8", :
failed to load encoding file 'UTF-8'

Thanks, the result is adequate, although the position of the subscript
doesn't look pleasing personally.
