Of course you need a font that contains the Chinese characters you are using. I have no idea whether matplotlib has any issues with such fonts (though I think e.g. OpenType is only partially supported), but getting a box sounds like the font does not have the character you need. > I also tried using TeX following the example here: > http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/tex_unicode_demo.html > but it did not work when I put in Chinese symbols. TeX's Unicode support is not at all complete - matplotlib merely selects the utf8 input encoding, which isn't enough to make TeX work with Chinese. Perhaps the instructions http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/cs/cjk.html will get you started if you want to go the TeX route. -- Jouni K.
