No, as John (see below) I didn't have to tell octave or gnuplot
anything special about the encoding.

Sorry for not including info on OS and octave version .... here we go:
Octave is version 2.0.8 (i586-pc-linux-gnu)
Linux is Debian 1.3
Gnuplot is version 3.5 (pre 3.6) patchlevel beta 328

As Austrians we depend on Latin1 characters (German Umlaute), so our
terminals use setup to properly display the characters ... but I think
that has got nothing to do with octave. I can enter special characters
using modifier keys, but again that's a question about keyboard and X
setup, not octave.
Michael: Can you type the Latin1 characters at, let's say, a shell
prompt? In that case you should be able to use them with octave, too.
Best,
Fritz
