[Gnuplot-info] Symbol font for pngcairo

[Nunzio L. <nun...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm really not happy with the default Symbol font used by Gnuplot on my
linux system. That is an ugly Sans greek font while I'd like some Roman
Greek font.
I've found a "CM Roman Greek" font on my system through fc-list. but
apparently gnuplot doesn't understand it:

if I do:

term pngcairo ...... font "CM Roman"

it uses the correct Roman font, but if I do

term pngcairo ...... font "CM Roman Greek" it reverts to using the default
Sans (no greek!!) font.

What am I missing?

Thanks very much for your help.
