Re: Police for the French language

Matlab (and Octave) uses the system code page when saving .m files. For
Windows the system code page depends on the localization you are using. For
a French version of Windows that should be "ISO 8859-15". For Linux the
system code page is (almost) always UTF-8 independent of any localization.

What you could do: open your .m files in an external Editor (Notepad++ for
example) and save them with UTF-8 encoding (no BOM). After that the French
characters should display fine in Octave on Linux.

If you don't care for Matlab, you can set up your Octave on Windows to also
use UTF-8 in the Editor preferences.
