Dear Allin
I found that if I edit the gnuplot commands of plot "gf1"
by replacing
   set encoding utf8
with
   set encoding default
then the Chinese characters on the x-axis can be shown correctly (under
windows XP).
I also tried that in gretl under ubuntu 8.10. However, it does not work.
But if I directly press "run" botton in the gnuplot command window of
"gf1",
the ALL chinese characters including those in title, x-axis are now shown
correctly.

 Dear Allin
 I've just downloaded the CVS for windows minutes ago and testes it by
 runnung the same script as before.
 I found the issue (Chinese characters are not shown correctly for names of
 months on the x-axis) remains there. It seems nothing changes on the gf1
 plot.
 Please let me know how I can help on testing or debugging.
 Many thanks
 Yi-Nung Yang
