Counter-intuitive maybe, but it's very convenient. "set encoding utf8" announces that filenames in the gnuplot script will be UTF-8 encoded (and the script will be readable cross-platform), but thanks to Bastian gnuplot knows they need to be recoded in the background to UTF-16 for reading from disk on Windows. -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University _______________________________________________ gnuplot-beta mailing list [email protected] Membership management via: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gnuplot-beta
