in [Matlab]

It works under all the other apps.

It works under all the other apps. Do you mean the tilde by itself, char(126), or do you mean tilde as a diacritical mark, such as over an n (char 241) or over an a (char 227) ? Are you using a Windows PC? If so, then what font have you set up as your default font, or what have you set up as your default language ?

Astonishingly, the tilde by itself (char(126), as you say) does not work, but the tilde as a diacritical mark such as ñ works nicely (however, it is completely unuseful in MATLAB, unlike the bare ~). > Are you using a Windows PC?

Sorry, I thought it was clear but I am using MATLAB 7.0.0.19901 (R14), under Debian Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem (on i686).

Okay... what is your LANG environment variable set to? And if you unset LANG or set it to en-US before you start Matlab, does tilde start working?
