[Rd] Encoding problem in Rd file

[Renaud Lancelot]

Thank you very much. My LaTeX installation is up to date (very
recently updated with MIKTeK update facility).
I have run R CMD Rd2dvi --no-clean dja.Rd and the result looks OK. I
have put the resulting TeX file at
http://filex.cirad.fr/get?k=K1cBpKr3UBUmdOJFMlx

Do you have another suggestion?

Renaud
