What font was used for the label?
>>> plt.gca().xaxis.label.get_fontname()
'Bitstream Vera Sans'
The usual default above has a limited character set. You can select a font
that has the characters you want using
plt.xlabel(u'äöüß°€', fontdict={'family': 'Cambria'})
for a given bit of text or
plt.rc('font', family='Cambria')
to make it the default.
