These are not 'apostrophe's: it's (that is an apostrophe) misleading to call them that. They are single quotes, and there are two sorts if you look carefully.

Probably you are using a UTF-8 locale and not telling LaTeX (or us) so. There are several ways to do so, depending on the age of your LaTeX setup.

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

is one.

Alternatively, you can tell R not to use UTF-8 quotes with options(useFancyQuotes=FALSE).

Please note the 'at a minimum' information the posting guide asked you for -- it included the locale.

Dear All,

I try to use Sweave to make a document. But when I use the Sweave()
command on it and build a pdf with pdflatex (3.141592-1.40.3) my
apostrophes are replaced by some gibberish (an 'a' with a hat on it, a
capital A with a arc pointing upwards on it and a capital Y with two
points on it). If I manually replace the apostrophes using the keyboard,
I get a different looking apostrophe and the output is correct.

I'm using Debian Linux (Lenny) with TexLive, Kile and R 2.6.1.

This is a sample, the problem is in the lm output in the "Signif. codes"
line:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\title{Spam}
\author{F. Bar}

\begin{document}
<<reg>>=
n <- 50
x <- seq(1, n)
a.true <- 3
b.true <- 1.5
y.true <- a.true + b.true * x
s.true <- 17.3
y <- y.true + s.true * rnorm(n)
out1 <- lm(y ~ x)
summary(out1)
@
\end{document}

And the resulting .tex file:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\title{Spam}
\author{F. Bar}

\usepackage{Sweave}
\begin{document}
\begin{Schunk}
\begin{Sinput}
> n <- 50
> x <- seq(1, n)
> a.true <- 3

> y.true <- a.true + b.true * x
> s.true <- 17.3
> y <- y.true + s.true * rnorm(n)
> out1 <- lm(y ~ x)
> summary(out1)
\end{Sinput}
\begin{Soutput}
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x)

cheers and thanks for any help,
