Bug Description
hello,
there is a bug in gnuplot (interactive mode). it has been in breezy and now in dapper too.
some keys are not displayed correctly. e.g. the delete-key, or, a little bit special, the german signs like ä,ö,ü,ß. german signs appear correct if i type e.g.
(1) gnuplot >"
(2) gnuplot >"ä
(3) gnuplot >"ä"
but not if i type
(1) gnuplot >"
(2) gnuplot >""
(3) gnuplot >"ä"
i am using ubuntu dapper beta. bug appears in german and english environment.
regards,
prinz igor

From the gnuplot FAQ:
4.11 How do I include accented characters
To obtain accented characters like u: or n in your labels you should use
8bit character codes together with the appropriate encoding option. See
the following example:
gnuplot> set encoding iso_8859_1
gnuplot> set title "M\374nchner Bierverbrauch \374ber die Jahre"
gnuplot> plot "bier.dat" u 1:2
Consequently, you can type labels in Czech, French, Hungarian, Russian...
by means of an appropriate set encoding. However, you cannot mix two
encodings in one file (e.g. accents for west and east latin encodings).
That you can only do with a TEX output.
While it does appear to be the case that the non-readline input environment in gnuplot does not allow 8-bit characters, this should not be a problem for typing the characters you require.
It looks like UTF-8 support itself could be in 4.2, but it's not certain.
Is this information sufficient for this bug to be closed?
