Re: label % in the string

[Mick Spillane <spillane@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gaorz,
	Not all fonts have every character and the percent sign is
one that is frequently missing.  You should find it in the font
tables of the plotplus manual (Appendices B and C)
	ftp://ftp.pmel.noaa.gov/epic/manual-dir/pplus.pdf
where you may spot other characters and symbols potentially useful
in your work.  (Appendix A shows the available plot symbols)

	For the PERCENT sign I'd suggest the math font as in the
following
	plot/i=1:10 1/i
	label/nouser 4,3,0,0,0.2,@srThe @ma70@sr Symbol

Here the @ma changes to the Math font, the character needed is referred
to by its 2 digit number, then the font is returned to "sr" for the
remainder of the label.

For reasons I don't understand the percent sign is not a problem when
used in a main plot title, as in
	plot/i=1:10/title="The % Symbol" 1/i
