[Gnuplot-bugs] cgm terminal font size for gnuplot 4.3

[<tma...@ya...>]

I wrote the script at the end of the mail to check font.
In the drawn plot in cgm terminal, the font size was 12. 
I changed 'set term cgm mono font 'times' 16'.
For that case, the font size was again 12.

Looks like the change to the new syntax for font/size specification 
meant to be common to all terminals:

	set term cgm mono font 'times,16'

has broken parsing of the old-style

	"<font>" <size>

syntax in the CGM driver.  I suspect the 'break;' statement in the 
default case.

Both the new and the old syntax work here.
Tested in 4.2 and in CVS.

In what version have you seen a failure?

Thanks! I have confirmed the fix.

On the other hands,
gnuplot> help set term cgm
 Syntax:
       set terminal cgm {<mode>} {<color>} {<rotation>} {solid | dashed}
                        {width <plot_width>} {linewidth <line_width>}
                        {"<font>"} {<fontsize>}

If the new Syntax is recommended, is the following right ?

       set terminal cgm {<mode>} {<color>} {<rotation>} {solid | dashed}
                        {width <plot_width>} {linewidth <line_width>}
                        {"<font>, <fontsize>"}
