[Gnuplot-info] Selecting Font with Terminal "Postscript"

[Rich S. <rsh...@ap...>]

   In /usr/share/fonts/Type1/ I have

p052023l.pfb -urw-urw palladio l-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard

and I want to make this the default typeface for my plots. Because this is a
binary coded file I apparently need a helper application, but I cannot find
any information in /usr/doc/gnuplot-4.2.6/.

   According to "Gnuplot in Action" there's more detailed information on
using the postscript terminal in the application documents. Please point me
to the revelant doc.

   I should have added this information:

gnuplot> set t postscript enhanced
Terminal type set to 'postscript'
Options are 'eps enhanced defaultplex \
    leveldefault monochrome colortext \
    dashed dashlength 1.0 linewidth 1.0 butt \
    palfuncparam 2000,0.003 \
    "Palatino" 12 '

gnuplot> set fontpath '/usr/share/fonts'
gnuplot> set t postscript fontfile 'Type1/p0520231.pfb'
Terminal type set to 'postscript'
                                    ^
          Font file 'Type1/p0520231.pfb' not found

there is a typo in the fontfile option (should be "l" not "1")

filename of the font:
/usr/share/fonts/Type1/p052023l.pfb

your command:
gnuplot> set t postscript fontfile 'Type1/p0520231.pfb'
