Try \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} and no special fontenc setting -> works for me for Austrian German.

Dear R list,
I'm having some problems with font encodings when using R+Sweave+Latex in my
native language: Portuguese.
My environment:
Kubuntu 5.10 Linux
$> uname -a
Linux nassa 2.6.12-9-686 #1 Mon Oct 10 13:25:32 BST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
R> R.version

os linux-gnu
system i486, linux-gnu

language R
R> Sys.getlocale()
[1]
"LC_CTYPE=pt_PT.utf-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=pt_PT.utf-8;LC_COLLATE=pt_PT.utf-8;LC_MONETARY=pt_PT.utf-8;LC_MESSAGES=pt_PT.utf-8;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C"
R> localeToCharset()
[1] "ISO8859-1"
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{Introdu????o}
Isto ?? uma experi??ncia.
\begin{figure}[b]
\centering
<<echo=false,fig=true,width=10,height=10>>barras(1)
@
\caption{Distribui????o 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{Introdu????????o}
Isto ???? uma experi????ncia.
\begin{figure}[b]
\centering
\includegraphics{exp-001}
\caption{Distribui????????o 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

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