Hi, I would like to use gnuplot with my locale environment set to UTF-8. However, when the gnuplot terminal is set to x11, the utf-8 strings are interpreted as iso-8859-1. If the gnuplot terminal is set to png, the strings are drawn as if they were iso-8859-2. I filled a bug report to gnuplot, but the developer told me that gnuplot has no problem and that I have to choose an utf-8 font:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1458525&group_id=2055&atid=102055 Then, my question is: How can I find such an utf-8 font? I used xfontsel to search for an utf-8 font, and I put the only font whose encoding (according to xfontsel) was "u" into my .Xresources in the hope that this "u" meant "utf-8": gnuplot*font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-75-75-c-*-*-u It didn't work. Indeed, it seems that the "u" doesn't mean "utf-8". I, then, installed the package xfonts-efont-unicode and put in my .Xresources: gnuplot*font: -efont-*-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* It also didn't work. And it's strange, because I use "Monospace" (which seems to be the same "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono") with my text editor and I can see Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian, etc... characters in a single .desktop file, but the Bitstream font also doesn't work for non-ascii characters with gnuplot if the locale is UTF-8: gnuplot*font: -bitstream-*-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* I'm using XOrg (6.9.0.dfsg.1-4), and below, there is additional information about my system: $ uname -a Linux debian 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 #1 Wed Sep 28 02:31:26 CEST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/locale.gen en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8 pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8 $ locale |grep LANG LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 Thanks! -- Jakson A.
