Re: st: Re: special characters in Stata graphics

I would like to have a response to the broader issue raised in my
message. It is not acceptable to produce, e.g., graphs in Stata
that must be edited by some kludge downstream to contain UTF-8
characters that are not available in the ISO-8859-1 charset (such
as the Greek alphabet, mathematical symbols, etc.) We need UTF-8
(broadly, Unicode) handling to make graphs fully presentation-
quality. We can get around this for tables as routines like Ben
Jann's -estout- can write TeX, including the TeX codes for all
desired characters (sorry, you MS Word devotees have some manual
work to do). But for graphics, UTF-8/Unicode support is really
necessary.
Was there ever a reply to Kit's broader question here (sorry if I
missed it)? I just generated a plot for which it would have been
nice to have U+2074 and U+2075 (superscript 4 and 5) in the axes labels.
