Hi Walmes Thank you very much. That appears to be the problem. When I typed from the DOS terminal R CMD Sweave --encoding=utf-8 ParasiteComb12.Rnw it compiled the tex file without any error messages. I have not really got into font encoding and reading the Sweave manual I thought that what I had done would be sufficient. I found an old note which gave a reference to http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4725.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4889.html but that appears to be specific. The ?Sweave and the Sweave manual appear to be more specific about the latex side. After having a look at iconvlist() and bearing in mind Duncan Murdoch's comments about windows I tried Sweave("D:/Cic/Sweave/Parasite/Comb/12/ParasiteComb12.Rnw", encoding = "UTF-8") from the Rgui command window and compiled without any problems When I had a look at the tex file there were a few DOS Alt-248 (degree symbol ) within latex comments which were added last running R2.14 before updating Removing them and re running without the encoding argument brought things back to normal. I tried as a test \SweaveOpts{encoding="UTF8"} but that appears not to work All I have to do now is to put the extra argument into my text editors clip library for Sweave for next time when I cannot solve things. Its been a long week !
