[Gretl-users] Translation of gretl into Traditional Chinese

[yinung at Gmail]

Dear Allin

Attached please find the gnuplot command generated by gretl 1.8.0cvs
(build date 2009-01-31) with Chinese characters for the x-axes of the
correlograms and the default font "verdana.".
This can be replicated by opening djclose.gdt and then right-clicking
djclose to choose the coorelogram with lag=4 under zh_TW environment
in Windows XP.
I also attached two png files. ACF-with-correct-Chinese1.png shows the
correct Chinese characters while ACF-with-wrong-Chinese.png shows the
wrong Chinese characters. Hopefully these can help.

Best wishes

Yi-Nung Yang
