[ESS] ESS and special characters in Aquamacs

[Ista Zahn]

Hi Peter,

This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but I find that often

Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "en_US.UTF-8")

does the trick. If not you can check available locales with

system("locale -a")

then replace "en_US.UTF-8" in Sys.setlocale with the correct one.

HTH,
Ista
