You may need to use a font with a more complete character set, such as
DejaVu.

Hi Everyone,
Not really related to my every day work, but I was asking myself how
to put non latin letters, like arabic or hebrew on plots.
I found a way to put german umlauts and ß but this is only a very
partial solution. It would be cool to know how to over come this.
My code to work with umlauts is:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
def format(x, pos=None):
if x == 0.0:
exp = 0
else:
exp = int(np.log10(np.abs(x)))
mant = x / 10**exp
return '%.1fE%+d' % (mant, exp)
f = plt.figure()
ax = f.add_subplot(111)
data = np.array([1,2,3,4,5]) / 100.
ax.plot(data, np.arange(len(data)))
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FuncFormatter(format))
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FuncFormatter(format))
ax.text(0.03,0.5,"Umlauts äüöß"+ u"\u00e4")
plt.show()
If I include arabic or hebrew letters I get Bricks displays.
Thanks in advance,
Oz
