keymapping, terminal font?

From the gnuplot FAQ:

4.11 How do I include accented characters

   To obtain accented characters like u: or n in your labels you should use
   8bit character codes together with the appropriate encoding option. See
   the following example:

 gnuplot> set encoding iso_8859_1
 gnuplot> set title "M\374nchner Bierverbrauch \374ber die Jahre"
 gnuplot> plot "bier.dat" u 1:2

   Consequently, you can type labels in Czech, French, Hungarian, Russian...
   by means of an appropriate set encoding. However, you cannot mix two
   encodings in one file (e.g. accents for west and east latin encodings).
   That you can only do with a TEX output.

While it does appear to be the case that the non-readline input environment in gnuplot does not allow 8-bit characters, this should not be a problem for typing the characters you require.

It looks like UTF-8 support itself could be in 4.2, but it's not certain.

Is this information sufficient for this bug to be closed?

At first - thank you for your comment.

In my opinion it is not sufficient.

The main problem is the Delete-Key. It does not work. When i type this key there appear only cryptic signs like "3~".

The accented characters do appear. But if i type for example some accented character in quotations that were there before(!) i type in the accented character, than there appear only cryptic signs, too.

Well, very special problem perhaps. But it is annoying in daily handling.

The non-functional delete key goes away when compiling Gnuplot with libreadline. As stated in the other bug, distributing such a version is not possible at the moment.

Maybe libedit is a cure to that.

Merging, as the other issue seems to be solved.
