I am testing mrplot and gruff to dynamically create some graphs and they  
both work great. The only problem I have is that I am unable to display  
Japanese text in the graphs. I need the labels to be in Japanese (UTF8  
in linux or SJIS in windows).

Is there any way to get these two to display Japanese text??

thanks
