Create diagrams with code using Graphviz

Hmmm, Graphviz can do this now. Search the FAQ for "how do I use non-ASCII character sets"

I took a closer look at the FAQ and it doesn't sound like Graphviz can do exactly what I'd like it to do.

"It is essential that a font which has the glyphs for your specified characters is available at final rendering time."

It sounds to me like UTF-8 encoded characters won't show if the font isn't available on the machine, in which case we'd have to either somehow force a font install or ideally just package the font with the application. The latter would require rebuilding Graphviz without fontconfig enabled, I think?

I completely missed that, thank you!
