Hi John,

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand. The github link you sent above
identifies PyGTK as the culprit---it sets the default encoding. This
doesn't seem to be a problem with the FreeBSD port, or even a problem
with matplotlib, but is a problem with PyGTK. Is this not accurate?

Thanks,
Geoff
