But R 2.5.0 does the same, and as far as I know R has done so for many
past versions.
You are asking the impossible: outputting Latin-1 in a Latin-2
environment. Remember that postscript() does not handle UTF-8, and so
uses whatever it thinks the local 8-bit encoding is, in your case
either Latin-2 or ASCII. We can probably work around this, but definitely
not at this late stage for 2.5.1.
