#3025 Version 5.37.x - where did the Greek font go ?

[Rene Hansen]

It seems like the Greek font has been removed from both maxima, wxMaxima, and gnuplot ?
kind regards

How about an example with maxima and gnuplot that shows that the Greek font is gone now but used to work?

[Rene Hansen]

Yes, please see the attached gif's
Using greek letters in equations by using eg %lambda goes ok it is the greek letters in the plots that dosen't work anymore - it did back in version 5.28.0-2 but starting with 5.36.1 it stops working

As far as I remember this one also worked previusly:
I: string : "Text with Greek %omega dosnt work";
O: "Text with Greek %omega dosnt work"

But I am 100% shure

Greek letters work fine here, both upper and lower case. I have tried it on both Maxima 5.37.1 and 5.37.2 - SBCL 1.2.7 version for Windows 64 bit

[Rene Hansen]

Yes - as variables it goes ok, but not anymore as labels on the axis on a plot.

From a message to the mailing list recently [1], I gather that this has something to do with fonts which are or are not packaged with Gnuplot which is bundled with wxMaxima and Maxima.

I don't know whose problem this is to fix.

I think, the example in the mail above does work with maxima-clisp-5.37.2.exe (which I just released) as it should. (I include the most recent gnuplot)

I downloaded yesterday's daily build of wxMaxima for a test (works fine by
the way)
In there {\symbol l} in a label-text didn't yield a Greek lambda in gnuplot
as usual - however [esc] l [esc] - did !
But you say that it is fixed - thanks.
I rather stick to the "maxima-sbcl-5.37.2.exe" to get maximum speed as I
work with quite large data sets.
Best regards

PS had a strange behavior with this nightly build: I changed the language
to e.g. Danish. Afterwards, when loading a worksheet and just evaluate it
- made wxMaxima to hang at the first cell - a Maxima-restart solves it.
If I press the button "Completely stop Maxima and restart" as the first
thing after loading a worksheet, it all works ok. It didn't help to switch
back to the default language. I then uninstalled/reinstalled - didn't help.
Only after uninstalling all maxima - including manually remove all
maxima/wxmaxima stuff from the registry - and then reinstall. It then also
worked again with the nightly build of wxMaxima (I didn't dare to switch
language again :-) ).

The "hang at the first cell" was a bug in wxMaxima I introduced trying to fix other bugs. It has been resoved since.
