How can I solve this ... ??? II

Try using a python unicode string instead:

fig.suptitle( u"LotoFácil", fontsize = self.fon[ 6 ][ 1 ], fontweight
= "extra bold",
                       fontstyle = "italic", color = self.cor[ 608 ][
1 ], lod = True )

That works for me here (though with the original, I just get missing
characters, not an error).

but I'm Brazilian and this is not correct for us. Help me please.

Ryan …,

  Very good ..., it works perfectly ...

  It's so easy but I didn't remember to  use it ...

  In fact my problem is slightly more complicated than this because

I have used textName[ 2 ] instead of literal LotoFácil as I
told you ( I know I didn’t say this before, my fault ), the
correct code is …

  fig.suptitle( textName[ 2 ], fontsize = self.fon[ 6 ][ 1 ],

fontweight = “extra bold”,
fontstyle = “italic”, color = self.cor[ 608
][ 1 ], lod = True )

  however, after your mention       about

unicode string you gave
me a good idea so I solved my problem this way …

  fig.suptitle( unicode( self.textName[ 2 ], "cp1252" ), fontsize =

self.fon[ 6 ][ 1 ], fontweight = “extra bold”,

                        fontstyle = "italic", color = self.cor[ 608

][ 1 ], lod = True )

  and everything works perfectly again.

  But I was thinking that the correct way is to fix it there in

cbook.py, anyway …

      File

“C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\cbook.py”, line 1682, in
is_math_text

      s = unicode(s)

  UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe1 in

position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

  Thank you very much for your prompt aid,

Ademir,

I am glad it is working for you now. Just as a note, the unicode() function uses whatever encoding that is default on your system. Therefore, if it is possible for you to get inputs of strings in other encodings, then it is considered good practice to handle this at the point of string creation. Therefore, the rest of the code can simply assume that the strings are in the system’s default encoding.

Therefore, something like your solution would be better than changing the unicode() call in the suptitle() function.

Try using a python unicode string instead:
fig.suptitle( u"LotoFácil", fontsize = self.fon[ 6 ][ 1 ], fontweight
= "extra bold",
fontstyle = "italic", color = self.cor[ 608 ][
1 ], lod = True )
