MATLAB: Ubuntu – german umlaute in plots

Question

Hi,

i m currently working on my master-thesis and using many plots. I write in german so the plots contain sometimes german umlaute, such as ä ö ü. But that doesn t work.

I found out that theres a possibility to specify the interpreter to latex:

    title('Example ä ö ü', 'Interpreter','Latex')

But that changes the style, font…. I like to use the Matlab Font, and thats also easier to change.

The i tried

    title(['a with umlaut is ' char(228) ])

But unfotunately that doesn t work.

I use Matlab 2012b on Linux Ubuntu 12.04

Is there a simple posibillity to solve the problem ?

I dont have Ubuntu but you can try this:

title('Example \"a \"o \"u')
title('Example ä ö ü','Interpreter','none')
