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

Sorry for the delay in responding but I think this issue (that is,
short names of months on the x-axis of gretl plots may be
corrupted in locales that use multibyte characters) is now fixed
in CVS and the various gretl snapshots. Please let me know if
there's still a problem.
