Details:

Hello, this is a bug report regarding the printing of plots with texts
containing non-ascii chars. I am providing what I believe is a valid the
solution too.

The latex file created under the graphics_toolkit fltk will not compile when
the plot contains non-ascii chars.

testfile:


graphics_toolkit fltk
plot([-10:10],[-10:10].^2,'o-')
title('Título de la gráfica')
print('-dpdflatexstandalone','-color','test')


(the string in the title command contains two latin-1 chars; I believe the
same problem would be the same with other encodings).

Executing pdflatex test.tex will fail, complaining at the non-ascii chars.This
is due to the absence of the following in the generated latex file:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

together with the inability to pass the non-ascii chars to the latex file.

A third error in the file prevents from getting a valid latex file with recent
GL2PS.

Patching print.m with the attached file will solve the problem (first change
incorporates the missing heading, the second one makes print.m able to read
non-ascii chars, and the third removes the line that seems incompatible with
recent versions of GL2PS).
