Ok, to reply to myself, I have just realised that the first time I compiled
this file I got a dialog box asking about encoding, and I chose the default
UTF -8 encoding. Could this be where the problem lies and, if it does, how
do i now sort it.

Which encoding should I have chosen, if that is the issues.

British Pound symbol problem in Sweave PDF output

2011-10-19 Thread Graham Smith 
I'm not exactly sure where the problem lies with this, but if I include a
"£" symbol in an graph legend, I get "£" in the PDF.

I am on Snow Leopard and Lyx 2.0.0.

It doesn't happen when I generate graphs from R and save as PDF, so it seems
to be a Lyx/Latex/Sweave thing.

As so often is the case searching for an answer has proved fruitless,as a I
can't come up with meaningful search terms.

But I am sure this has cropped up before.

Any help much appreciated.
