my previous post seems to have disappeared.

is there support for UTF-8 or other charsets?

I wish to output a graph that has axis in another characterset.

Hi Dan,

All labels in JFreeChart just use String objects, so you get the full Unicode support that Java offers. What you need to watch out for is whether or not the font you are using actually has the characters you are trying to display. Most fonts don't support the full range of characters...those that do have very large font definition files (23MB for the one on my system that does).

Regards,

Dave Gilbert
