title: How to use non-ASCII characters in Matlab figures (for use in LaTeX doc)?
body: <p>I am using including Matlab-drawn figures into LaTeX. My usual workflow is as following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Script in matlab creates figure(s),</li>
  <li>I tweak what I find needs to be tweaked in visual figure editor,</li>
  <li>Figure is saved as .fig (for future modification) and .eps (for including in LaTeX),</li>
  <li>I convert .eps files to .pdf,</li>
  <li>PDF files are referenced in LaTeX source code.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>To the point: when I try to use in axis labels, legend, titles, etc. non-ASCII chars, (to be exact: Polish national chars e.g. 'ą', 'ę', 'ś', 'ć') encoding in Matlab figure editor is fine and characters display properly. After exporting to .eps, they are all wrong (example: "Głębokość" turns into "G³êbokoœæ").</p>
  
  <p>Does there exist a way to do this properly, either by tuning Matlab options or changing my workflow? </p>
  
  <p>Note: I found that export to .png or other <em>non-vector</em> formats handles character encoding properly, but I would like to avoid having to do <em>that</em> -- I'm asking for a way to "keep it vector". Export directly to .pdf produces the same effect as .eps, e.g. it is producing wrong results.</p>
  
  <p>PS. Matlab is R2008a, .latex files are compiled with pdflatex, .eps files with epstopdf from MikTeX 2.9 (all under Win7).</p>
