[R] Sweave special characters problem

[Allan Engelhardt]

A standalone example is always helpful.  The following works for me, so 
I am probably not understanding your problem:

---[BEGIN: umlaut.Rnw]---
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

<<test,echo=TRUE>>=
x <- data.frame(Geschäftslage=1:10)
summary(x)
@
\end{document}
---[END: umlaut.Rnw]---

$ R CMD Sweave umlaut.Rnw
$ R CMD pdflatex umlaut.tex
$ gnome-open umlaut.pdf
