Re: printing greek characters

[Clinton Winant]

I am a frequent user  and have found octave to make my work possible.  I would like to contribute and have made tiny donations, but this last correspondence confirms my impression that octave has many, many features that are not documented.  My programming skills are not good enough for me to make significant contributions in the way of new functionality, but I could help document some of the features.  Is there a need for this (I think so), and is there any mechanism for this to occur?

A very very grateful user    Clinton

Octave 4.0,0

graphics_tolkit qt or fltk

plot([ 0 1],[0 1],'k');
text(0.5,0.5,'\lambda^2')

produces a lovely greek character in the middle of the display, but

print -deps greektest.eps

produces an eps file w/o the greek character.

This is more in the way of a query to add the capability than anything else.  Sometimes greek characters are a must.

​If you can use gnuplot backend you can do e.g. things like:

​octave:1> graphics_toolkit("gnuplot")
octave:2> setenv("GNUTERM", "qt")
octave:3> set(0, 'DefaultAxesFontname', 'Times New Roman')
octave:4> set(0, 'DefaultTextFontname', 'Times New Roman')
octave:5> t=linspace(0,0.99,100);
octave:6> l = 500 ./ sqrt(1-t.^4);
octave:7> plot(t,l)
octave:8> axis([0,1,200,2400]);
octave:9> title ('倫敦穿透深度')
octave:10> ylabel('λ (Å)')
octave:11> xlabel('温度 (T/T_c)')
octave:12> print("l_vs_t.pdf", "-dpdfcairo", "-FTimes New Roman:18")

(and get the attached result)
