You are using UTF-8 and declaring latin1. It is your use of UTF-8
that will have changed, not R.

Dear R list,
I'm having some problems with font encodings when using R+Sweave+Latex in my
native language: Portuguese.

Here is a small example trying to replicate my problems:
File:exp.Rnw
================================
\documentclass[10pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage[portuges]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
\section{Introdução}
Isto é uma experiência.
\begin{figure}[b]
\centering
<<echo=false,fig=true,width=10,height=10>>=
barras(1)
@
\caption{Distribuição dos valores percentuais.}
\label{fig:idade}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
=================================
The problem occurs when I Sweave this file using the command:
R> Sweave('exp.Rnw')
The generated exp.tex file gets these contents:
=================================
\documentclass[10pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage[portuges]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{/usr/lib/R/share/texmf/Sweave}
\begin{document}
\section{Introdução}
Isto é uma experiência.
\begin{figure}[b]
\centering
\includegraphics{exp-001}
\caption{Distribuição dos valores percentuais.}
\label{fig:idade}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
=================================
All Portuguese characters were "spoiled". So apparently the Sweave function
is "translating" my original font encoding
I suspect that this is a problem related to the recent internationalization
changes in R, as this same file/process was previously (around a year ago I
think) working correctly for me.
I've read several documentation on these internationalization issues in R and
browsed the mailing list. As a result, because initially I didn't have R
working with the pt_PT.utf-8 locale, I've installed the PT language support
package for my OS, expecting that this would solve the "problem". Apparently
I'm missing something else, so I wonder if someone could give me a hint on
how to solve this.
Thanks,
Luis Torgo
