Re: plotting points formatted in utf8

Hello Tatsuro,

Sorry, my reply-to was not set. The correction you mentioned was 
actually the first variant I tried.

I have now repeated the test with pt "\U+25CE" in terminal wxt and also 
added the font specification to set terminal. This gives me the bullseye 
in the Gnuplot display, but not in the .eps file.

I have created a test script and a screenshot:

SCRIPT
http://kaniuk.co.uk/tests/test-unicode.gp

SCREENSHOT
http://kaniuk.co.uk/tests/test-unicode-GK.png

This shows the output on the Gnuplot display and also the resulting .eps 
file.

So some progress - Thanks!
