unicode support for latex

Hi All (esp. Darren),

The attached patch adds unicode support for LaTeX. Given the recent
discussion about adding preambles, I thought I'd run it past here first.
Anyone opposed if I check this in?

Note that I specifically added the rcParam text.latex.unicode to enable
this and a default False value to turn this off by default. I hope this
prevents breakage for folks who don't have the ucs and inputenc latex
packages installed while allowing unicode for those of us that do.

OK, here's the patch! :slight_smile:

No opposition, but a couple requests. Would you add a commented out line to
matplotlibrc.template, with some brief discussion if you think it is
appropriate? Also, lets make it a policy that the custom preamble always
appears after all other preambles in texmanager amd backend_ps.

I have never used unicode with latex, will you add a nugget to
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex?

Hi Darren,

I've made the changes you requested and committed it. (I didn't realize
that mpl-data/matplotlibrc was generated from the template -- I actually
already placed a descriptive line of text in the overwritten file.)

I'm attaching a file for the examples/ directory which I'm having
trouble checking in. I'm rushing out the door for a weekend away at the
moment, so if you can check this in, that'd be great, otherwise I'll try
again when I'm back online. I think it might be an issue with the
non-ASCII characters in the file.

I'll also update the wiki page when I get back.
