    Hey there,

    I've got a problem using my font files. When I try to run my gnuplot script I get this error message:
    sh: 1: pfbtops: not found
    "Plot.gplot", line 116: Command 'pfbtops /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/sfrm1000.pfb' generated error, exitcode is 32512

    With gnuplot 4 on another machine everything works fine, on my own machine with Gnuplot 5 this error occures.

    Can someone help me to get this solved?

    Thanks

    This error message is not coming from gnuplot, at least not directly.
    "pfbtops" is a font conversion utility. It looks like you used gnuplot to create a latex file of some sort (possibly a PostScript file for latex inclusion), but the latex font sfrm1000 is present only as a *.pfb file that must be converted to another format before use.

    Probably you just need to install this conversion tool on your system. Or it may be that you can tell gnuplot to use some other font.

    In gnuplot, see "help fontfile".
