Hi,

There is a mistake in ISOLatin7.enc file which is shipped with grDevices
package. Instead of Umacron and umacron there are Ucirmcumflex and ucirmcumflex.


There is no U cirmcumflex in ISO Latin 7 encoding, as can be seen in 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-13

and I also can report this as native Lithuanian speaker, since ISO Latin 7
encoding is used for Lithuanian and Latvian languages.

Steps to reproduce

1. In R issue commands :

postscript(file="test.ps",encoding="ISOLatin7")
plot(rnorm(100),main="&#362;&#363;")
dev.off()

When viewing postcript file instead of &#362;&#363; you will see ??.

Changing [uU]circumflex to [uU]macron in file ISOLatin7.enc fixes the problem.
