[Bug 314023] Re: Gnuplot svg output is broken

[dominiko]

I read in the gnuplot FAQ (http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/faq.html):

=================================================
4.11 How do I include accented characters

To obtain accented characters like ü or n in your labels you should use
8bit character codes together with the appropriate encoding option. See
the following example:

gnuplot> set encoding iso_8859_1
gnuplot> set title "M\374nchner Bierverbrauch \374ber die Jahre"
gnuplot> plot "bier.dat" u 1:2

Consequently, you can type labels in Czech, French, Hungarian,
Russian... by means of an appropriate set encoding. However, you cannot
mix two encodings in one file (e.g. accents for west and east latin
encodings).

A more general solution is to use UTF-8 encoded fonts, and type the UTF-8 characters directly into gnuplot. This works for many terminal types but not, unfortunately, PostScript. Update: The CVS version of gnuplot contains more complete support for UTF-8, including PostScript.
