This is the easiest way with any programming: force the use of iso-latin-1
8-bit characters. This works with hardware fonts on most machines too, so
good-looking output and labels can be had both on and off screen.

There is a very good FAQ posted to soc.culture.nordic which contains
a lot of detail about iso-latin-1 and other character sets. It is called
the "ISO 8859-1 National Character Set FAQ" and is posted regularly and
archived at:

http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet
/internationalization/iso-8859-1-charset/faq.html

(take out the line break)

Anyone wanting to handle ï¿½ngstrï¿½ms, plot Poincarï¿½ trajectories or
show the crosscorrelation of the word 'Fox' with ï¿½sop's fables would do
well to read it at least once: in addition to explaining the problem
clearly the FAQ gives good clues as to which machines might cause
problems and how to configure them so that they don't.
