Re: [Gnuplot-info] Gnuplot text scaling problem on Windows

[Teodoro S. <Teo...@es...>]

Hi Tatsuro,

I have tested it no won gnuplot 5.0.0 and the behaviour remains the same.

I have tested it with this simple script:
set term pngcairo enhanced font "Arial,12" size 960, 720 rounded
set output 'labels.png'
plot x t 'LabelSize'

Then I changed the windows font scale in the control panel (you have to log off and log on) and launched the script again.
The output image have bigger labels now.
Can you reproduce it too?

I will file a bug then.

Thank you!
Teo

I think that it is a bug.
Did you observe the same thing gnuplot 5.0.0?

Or can you give a short script to reproduce the problem.


If it also happens on gnuplot 5.0.0, please file to the bug ticket.
