The Chinese characters are displayed in garbled form.

`
df <- tibble(
性别 = c("男","女"),
病例数 = c(25,32)
)

ggplot(df,aes(性别,病例数)) +
geom_point()

I also see this issue, though the data shows up correctly in the console:

I tried this from a terminal R session, and the issue seems to come from ggplot2 plot rendering, so it may make sense to open an issue there?

Thank you for your attention! Rstudio offers a solution.

Thank you for your attention! Rstudio offers a solution. In RGui, the Chinese characters display normally.

Thanks for your report, @JTCDCTWB! 🙌

Can you say in a bit more detail what you are seeing in Positron vs. RStudio? Screenshots from both would be very helpful. I see the same behavior in both, but I know that installed fonts and such may be different for you.

In Positron, ggplot2 fails to display Chinese characters correctly. However, in Rstudio, you can enable Chinese characters to display normally by setting "General" → "Graphics" → "Backend" to "AGG".

Ah, I believe this may be related to #6707, which is slated for some work this very milestone. Want to take a look and share your use case?

reprex

library(tidyverse)

df <- tibble(
  性别 = c("男","女"),
  病例数 = c(25,32)
)

ggplot(df,aes(性别,病例数)) +
  geom_point()

Can confirm that in RStudio without "General" → "Graphics" → "Backend" to "AGG" you get unknown text but with it you get correctly rendered characters, so likely #6707 will fix it yes.

This will be fixed in the next version of Positron as long as you have the ragg R package installed!
