[R] sweave problem with special danish characters

[Ista Zahn]

Hi Johas,

I've run into a similar problem due to Emacs on OSX setting my locale
to "C". If you're on Mac or Linux you can try setting

 Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_ALL", locale = "UTF-8")

before calling Sweave()

Best,
Ista

This doesn't æ ø å and pdf document only contains NA
