Do we want to store unicode or non-unicode data in the metafiles?   My guess is 
that unicode strings should be stored.

If so, how should I handle unicode strings if the output device does not 
support unicode and wants to handle rendering text? 

The only two output devices that fall into this category are pstex and xfig.  
The xfig driver, however, handles text if a flag is set for postscript fonts.  
The workaround I was thinking of implementing is to set dev_text to false, 
which will cause PLplot to render the characters.
