I have created a file in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) on Windows XP with comments containing the foreign characters å, ä and ö. If I open this file in the MATLAB Editor/Debugger on Linux, the foreign characters are substituted by square symbols.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2007b (R2007b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
This problem is due to the UNIX environment variable LANG being unset or set to a variable, such as C, whose character set does not include special characters. To work around the problem, set the LANG environment variable in the shell from which you start MATLAB by running
setenv LANG en_US.ISO8859-1Or set it to another similar value appropriate for your operating system.
