OK. I give up. I'll ask a stupid question.
How do I get the $!#@*$ signif stars line printed by summaries
to not look extremely bizarre in the latex produced by Sweave?
For example, see p. 7 of
http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/aster/library/aster/doc/tutor.pdf
I can see what the problem is. R emits non-ascii characters (as it
is supposed to do), Sweave puts them in the tex file, and latex can't
handle them. But I don't see the solution.
Hmmmm. Well I just discovered a kludge
<<foo,include=FALSE,echo=FALSE>>Sys.setlocale(category =
"LC_ALL", locale = "C")
@
at the beginning of the Rnw file. But is that TRT (the Right Thing)?

What locale is this?
My guess is that this is a UTF-8 locale. If so, you need to tell latex
the input is in UTF-8, which you can do in the current LaTeX release
(you need 2003/12/01). As I recall you do this by
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

Here I was looking for a solution in the R docs, when I should have been looking in the LaTeX Companion. -- Charles Geyer Professor, School of Statistics University of Minnesota charlie at stat.umn.edu
