Does anyone know it is possible to input 8-bit ISO8859/1 coded characters
into Oracle Graphics/X11.  I can see that all the output is OK and it
uses 8-bit fonts, so all my data from the database come out fine.
The problem is when I try to input something (like names of axes etc.).
Then it simply ignores all input characters not in the old 7-bit ASCII
subset of ISO8859/1.

Is this bug/misfeature documented somewhere?  Has someone fixed this?
Or maybe noone in Europe wants other characters than [a-zA-Z] in their
fancy good looking _presentation_material_????
