Font problem on Win32

[Jingzhao Ou <ja...@ya...>]

Dear all,

I am new to Gnuplot. I just downloaded the 4.0 win32 version. It can plot
graphs. However, the fonts on the main GUI get messed up. I have great
difficulties figuring out what is showing on the GUI. I wonder if there is any
settings that I can change the fonts? I fail to find it on the Gnuplot menus.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Jingzhao

This is a very famous for gnuplot win32 for Windows XP or 2000 users in Japan.
In our cases, we can change the font of command window via the option menu.
The option menu can be open to click the icon on the window bar of the command window.
Please do not for fotget uptate wgnuplot.ini that also will be found in the option menu.

Dear Tatsuro,

I found the option menu by right clicking in the gnuplot text area! This is
really tricky!

Now, every thing is perfect! Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

It's in the context menu (where you found it, in the meantime...), and 
also accessible in a rather unusual place: the "system menu", i.e. the 
menu that opens up if you single click on the icon in the upper left 
corner of the window.  This menu also serves as the right-click menu of 
the taskbar icon (if your Windows has a taskbar ;-).  The gnuplot window 
has two additional entries in that menu: "Options", and "About".  The 
"Options" pop-up menu is the same as the right-click context menu of 
that window.

Now, for the text window, that's not particularly interesting, but it's 
a very neat trick if you need to access the *graph* window's context 
menu, but have mousing enabled --- regular right-click access to the 
context menu won't work then, but the system menu entries are still 
accessible.

Dear Hans,

Thanks a lot for providing me with such useful information. Gnuplot is really
powerful these days! I am now switching from MATLAB to Gnuplot for ploting
purposes.

Have a nice day!
