I can't actually check what happens since the message has been garbled en
route to me. Can you please send what you intended using \uxxxx escapes so
it is portable. (What I have is what appears to be UTF-8 re-encoded in
UTF-8, things like c3 84 3f.)
And can you also confirm that the example works correctly directly in pdf()?
OK, the modified R code is:
plot(rnorm(100),main="\u0105\u010D\u0117\u0119\u012F\u0161\u016B\u0173\u017E")
It does not work correctly with Sweave, as I wrote in my email, I
rechecked. And yes it works if only pdf is used.
It works for me in xpdf, but not Acroread 8.1.3.

Hi,
Sweave for some reason does not respect encoding setting in pdf.options.
Rather it uses its own setting. I think you need to set option
pdf.encoding="ISOLatin7" on the Sweave call.
Is it possible to do that? Sweave function in R, does not support
that, and using
SweaveHooks produced the same result.
So it is not recognizing the option, it seems: Yes, RweaveLatexSetup
does not know about it.
It would probably be better if Sweave() fetched the default for
options$pdf.encoding from pdf.options(), and definitely that this was
documented.
I did not find any mention about encodings in ?Sweave, ?RweaveLatex
and ?Rtangle, and Sweave manual and FAQ.
Yes, Sweave is supposedly frozen pending unbundling.
Note that this does work (at least for me) in lt_LT.utf8: it is because
you were in fr_FR.utf8 that you had a problem.
So I think the solution is actually pretty simple: use the correct locale.
I've changed R-patched to take the defaults from pdf.options(), but Sweave
should still be able to set them.
I looked at the code of RweaveLatexSetup, and saw that pdf.encoding is
defined explicitly, that is how I figured out, that
probably eps files are probably ok.
Sorry for the garbled message, next time I will send unicode portable
code without relying on email encodings.
Sincerely yours,
Vaidotas Zemlys
