That was indeed one of the best improvements over the old windows
terminal (where support for any encoding but ASCII was just a dream
and nobody knew how to select a font ...).

If I create a file 'a.plt' in UTF-8 encoding and use
    load 'a.plt'
then UTF-8 works without a problem.

However if I type
    set xlabel 'ačšž'
    plot sin(x)
then it won't recognize the input unless I explicitely specify
    set encoding cp852
so it's just a problem of correctly interpreting the input, not a
problem of drawing it (which was also problematic on the old windows
terminal).

I also need to tell that when I use "cmd" and change the font in
Properties to Lucida Console for example, then I'm able to paste a
Greek alpha into cmd window. However when I run gnuplot, this is
impossible - I can apparently only use characters from cp1250/cp852.
There is no way to enter any Greek letter at all.

I'm using Slovenian locale. Maybe the program behaves different in
Japanese locale.

Thanks a lot,
