Hi,

How can I put special symbols in gnuplot titles?
I want to use � in a gnuplot title so I put:
set encoding iso_8859_1
set title "titel \230foo"

but that doesn't work.

Can anyone help?

Thanx

Robin

Usually the problem comes from selecting the wrong font.
We can give a more specific answer if you tell us exactly
what terminal and font you have requested.  E.g.

   set term png font "Arial,11"

Did you try the simple option first?

  set title "Title ë foo"

will work for many/most terminals.
