AW: [Matplotlib-users] French characters

[Mayer G. <ger...@co...>]

Dear Matt,
thank you for your hints. If I understand you right, Matlibplot should =
be able to display the french characters and there is no need for \acute =
etc. That's interesting and I would appreciate it. However e.g. =
title('Temp=E9rature') does not work properly. Instead of =E9 I see a =
rectangle on the screen. May be something is wrong with my installation?
Regards
Gerhard

I think you'd have to add \acute to the overunder dictionary in =
mathtext.py and then use as '\acute{e}'.  That assumes that a "`"
is close enough for the accent mark.  If so, it's possible that other =
accent marks as well, though I don't see how to get an umlaut or =
cedilla.

As a general question, can mathtext directly access characters in the =
TeX font tables?  Would that simply involve adding more entries to =
latex_to_bakoma in _mathtext_data.py???  If so, that might make it =
easier to reproduce many of the TeX accents (including umlaut), as the =
double-dot and acute marks have actual places in the font tables.  It =
migh also make \AA (\Angstrom) less of a corner case.
