Hi Arjen: It appears from what you have said that Tcl 8.4 is not really ready for UTF-8. Thus, I don't think our Tcl-8.4 users should expect UTF-8 support from us so I suggest we simply ignore UTF-8 for the Tcl-8.4 case. As time goes by that should be less and less of a PLplot limitation as everybody moves to Tcl-8.5. So using that philosophy here is what I propose we do to put this issue to rest. 1. Please test your proposed change under Tcl-8.5 using the test_noninteractive target. I assume you will modify the source statements in examples/tcl/x2[46] and also the source statements in examples/tcl/standard_examples.in and examples/tk/standard_examples.in. The test_noninteractive target only tests examples/tcl/x??, but if the -encoding flag for the source command works in that case I assume it will also work in the standard_examples(.in) Tcl and Tk cases (for Tcl-8.5). 2. Commit your changes. 3. Configure test_tcl.sh(.in) so it skips the unicode examples for Tcl versions less than 8.5. Also, configure examples/tcl/standard_examples.in and examples/tk/standard_examples.in to skip the unicode examples and also drop the -encoding flag on the source command. I can handle all these configuration issues. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
