Alan, In looking over legend things, I've discovered that as of 5.9.7 (and probably also 5.9.6 but I only have 5.9.5 built) there have been a few changes to the hershey-unicode mappings that don't work with the qt driver (but are ok with the xcairo one). I presume this is down to my local font holdings. I append below the summary and workaround I sent internally to my team in order to get our software to display the relevant characters. It looks like for some characters you have decided to pick them not from the standard Greek family ( 0x03a,b,c ) but a variant (0x03d,f). I run an OpenSuse 11.1 system. Gucharmap shows both the symbols and alternatives, and the xcairo driver finds them, so I guess they reside somehow on my system but not accessed by my version of qt (4.5.3).
I don't know if you want this submitted as a bug, or if your own systems do better. Let me know... Regards, Steve [ snip ...] Some Greek characters have been moved in plplot to what I presume they find more appealing alternatives. The escapes in question include #gU and #gh (capital Upsilon and lower case theta respectively). Additionally there are two more characters, lunate epsilon and a variant of lower case phi, that can be invoked by plsym but don't work for me. This appears to be a shortcoming in qt, as the Cairo drivers can find them. As before, the "fix" involves changing entries in plhershey-unicode.h: Hershey numbers plplot5.9.7 unicode change to this 46, 546 0x03d2 0x03a5 Upsilon 534 0x03d1 0x03b8 theta 98, 684, 2184 0x03f5 0x03b5 epsilon 686, 2186 0x03d5 0x03c6 phi variant -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Professor Steven J Schwartz Phone: +44-(0)20-7594-7660 Head, Space & Atmospheric Physics Fax: +44-(0)20-7594-7772 The Blackett Laboratory E-mail: s.schwa...@imperial.ac.uk Imperial College London Office: Huxley 6M67A London SW7 2AZ, U.K. Web: www.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~sjs +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
