How to use UTF-8 characters in dygraph name in R

Using Rstudio [Windows8], when I use the dygraph function to build a time series, I have a problem when trying to use UTF-8 characters in the main header.

library(dygraphs)
dygraph(AirPassengers, main = "Título")

This leads to the title: "T? Tulo"

I tried converting "Título" to utf-8, but it does not work.

You need to make sure that your language settings support the character you want to use, and that the file is saved with the correct encoding. Saving as UTF-8 worked for me.

I was able to reproduce your situation in Windows 7 and tried a bunch of things. Nested in Rmarkdown, here is a minimal working example.

```{r}
Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","German")
#note that windows locale names are different from unix & mac, usually
#the name of nationality works here.
#also works with "Faroese", "Hungarian", and others who have this letter.
#the locale has to be set in a preceding block to take effect.
```

```{r}
Encoding("Título")
library(dygraphs)
dygraph(AirPassengers, main = "Título")
```
