Hi,

I'm trying to include the Angstrom symbol in the legend
of a plot, using 'set encoding iso_8859_1' then 'set
xlabel "Wavelength (\305)". It all looks well in x11,
but when I try this with
'set term post eps enh color'
I olly get a tilde symbol. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Gustavo Seabra.

    It works for me.
    I think you must have mis-typed the encoding command, or
    issued the command too late (after the PostScript file was
    already started).
    tilde is what you get if the encoding is not set to ISO.
    Try
    set encoding iso_8859_1
    set term post eps enh color
    set xlabel "Wavelength (\305)"

    Thanks for your help, but that's exactly what I'm doing! I
    get the correct symbol on x11, but not on postscript.

    Gustavo.
