Re: [Gretl-users] Bug: Plot labels
Thanks Allin. I want to report this to gnuplot developers but I wonder
why it is possible to save the graphs correctly when exporting as png.
Is this a different thing? Also I noticed gnuplot is not distirbuted
under the GPL and it is not free software since the license doesn't
let distributing modified versions of the program. Is gnuplot the only
alternative for the plotter application in gretl? Is it possible to,
say, using the plotting engine of R or qtiplot which I believe are
distributed under the GPL. IMHO it might be a good idea fully comply
with the Free Software principles.
Cheers,
Talha

Thanks, but I'm afraid you seem to be out of luck. Gnuplot
doesn't support iso-8859-9, and gnuplot's postscript driver
doesn't support UTF-8 (in fact, I think postscript + UTF-8 is
problematic in general).
I messed around with your file for a while, but I couldn't get eps
output with the glyphs you wanted, nor could I get correct PDF.
Allin.
