Umlauts (or other 'special' characters) in plots?

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

Is there a way to print umlauts or other 'special' characters in plots?

For example, the following gives poor results (with Octave 2.9.17 and 
gnuplot 4.2 on Ubuntu 7.10.):

--------
octave:1> plot(rand(1,10))
octave:2> xlabel('Kräuter')
octave:3> ylabel('Rüben')
--------

Cheers
Matthias
