Yes, everything outside ASCII (or maybe iso-8859-1) is beyond the capabilities of Piddle. Thanks for the link to the SPING project, but it seems to have died before it started to live (one message an year ago does not seem like a lot of activity to me :()
Anyway, I plan to abandon Piddle in the near future because it is old, unmaintained and lacks on capabilities. Most importantly there has been great progress with the Cairo based exports (PNG and PDF for now) that have everything that Piddle doesn't (maintained, supports curves and national characters).

The export of characters such as the degrees sign ° to pdf via piddle also doesn't work.

In a brief search of my limited understanding.... piddle is being replaced by SPING. Perhaps incorporation of SPING will fix some problems? http://sping.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the library that is used for this particular export. I will try to have a look if there is something I could do about it, but there is not much hope as I do not understand the EPS format much.

When a formula scheme is drawn using spline arrows and this picture ist exported via the piddle library into PDF or EPS, the arrows are angled and not curved anymore. The bezier point of the curved arrow is the corner in the exported version.

The error does not occur in graphics exported via the TK builtin method nor in the SVG graphic.
