[Matplotlib-users] how to put non-latin text on plots?
Hi Everyone, Not really related to my every day work, but I was asking myself how to put non latin letters, like arabic or hebrew on plots. I found a way to put german umlauts and ß but this is only a very partial solution. It would be cool to know how to over come this. My code to work with umlauts is: #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np def format(x, pos=None): if x == 0.0: exp = 0 else: exp = int(np.log10(np.abs(x))) mant = x / 10**exp return '%.1fE%+d' % (mant, exp) f = plt.figure() ax = f.add_subplot(111) data = np.array([1,2,3,4,5]) / 100. ax.plot(data, np.arange(len(data))) ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FuncFormatter(format)) ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FuncFormatter(format)) ax.text(0.03,0.5,Umlauts äüöß+ u\u00e4) plt.show() If I include arabic or hebrew letters I get Bricks displays.

You may need to use a font with a more complete character set, such as DejaVu.

I should also add that matplotlib doesn't have any advanced text layout algorithms (such as what would be found in Pango), so Hebrew and Arabic are likely to be backwards and wrong.
