no degree symbol

Hi, somehow I cannot display any degree symbols in Matlab. When i put text in a figure title or also the lat/lon labels on maps only show something like a black diamondshaped symbol instead of the º. My colleague, who has the same problem. We use Matlab Version R2012a on Mac OS X Lion.
Thank you in advance!

Have you changed your font preferences (outside of ML)?
No, I haven't touched those.

I dont know if this will help but I use ^{o} so for temperature in degrees C I type xlabel('Temperature ^{o}C');

Just what I needed!

Solved with: feature('DefaultCharacterSet', 'ISO-8859-1');

This will give me the title 45, no symbol at all.
then you have changed the font settings.. char(176) is the degree symbol in MATLAB..
What version of MATLAB are you using?
I am using R2012a. I have not actively changed anything after installing Matlab, maybe it had the wrong default settings. Can you tell my how to change these font settings?
I tried to check different char(nr) and found that they actually are correct. char(176) will give me the degree symbol in the workspace, but it cannot be displayed in the command window or in figures...

plot(randn(100,1));

I have tried this, it also gives the "black diamond".

I have the same problem you are describing, and I am also running Matlab version R2012a on a Mac only I am still using OS X Snow Leopard. I have tried all of the above as well as '^{o}' and have had no luck with any of them.

I found two more colleagues of mine having that problem, too. But no solution so far.

Export to eps even when Matlab "fig" shows the black diamond. The eps compiler interprets the TeX code correctly.
