Okay, thanks for the insightful information. I'm taking a look at the
gnuplot 4.2 documentation, and it seems to be at least intended to be
more coherent concerning different drivers.
Yes, I think they're slowly heading in that direction.
Anyway, maybe I'm missing the point, but for the postscript
terminal the
manual says
{{font} "fontname{,fontsize}" {<fontsize>}}
and
"<fontname>" is the name of a valid PostScript font;
So my preliminary conclusion from this would be that there's a
choice of font names like "Times-Roman", "Helvetica", etc. in
double quotes, which appears to be different syntax from the png
terminal. Also, the list of Truetype fonts offered in the gretl
dialog would be more or less irrelevant or invalid for
postscript.
Is this reasoning correct?
Yes, it seems right to me. I'll try some experimentation myself.
Allin.
