Ah OK. Here's a post that I had previously found useful:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19412382/gnuplot-line-types
I think this is only semi-offtopic because gretl uses gnuplot so tightly
integrated.

I think this is changed from gnuplot 4 to 5. Quoting from the linked page
above:
[In version 5] "The terminal options dashed and solid are ignored. By default
all lines are solid. To change them to dashed, use e.g.
set for [i=1:8] linetype i dashtype i"
So the new gnuplot option 'dashtype' would play the central role.
This sort of thing should also work in gnuplot 5.0:
set term pdfcairo mono dashed
