PS: I'm CC-ing to Ethan in case he has some proposal about what could be done with metapost terminal to support UTF-8 (one of the best thing to do would be to remove cmr, but more is needed), and I'm CC-ing to the developer of the new TikZ terminal (for no specific reason).
Gnuplot's metapost terminal correctly passes through UTF-8 characters to the output. Metapost itself then mangles them. If there is some additional keyword or command that gnuplot could emit that would allow metapost to do better, please let me know. Otherwise I think this problem must be resolved by using a different toolchain, one that is UTF-8 aware. Mojca: If the context terminal allows UTF-8 strings to be properly handled by TeX, for me that's a strong argument in favor of including it in the next gnuplot release. Does it?
