Details:

The following code demonstrates the problem:

x=1:10;y=x.^2;plot(x,y);
text(x(3),y(3),'  test symbol ° text')


Under fltk, a warning is displayed (4 times) on the terminal:

warning: ft_render: skipping missing glyph for character `�'


Nothing is rendered on the plot.

Under gnuplot, 2 characters are rendered (not the desired one) and the same
warnings are displayed on the terminal.

Have tried setting different default fonts, no change in warnings or outputs.
