[Gnuplot-info] Command line text unreadable in Windows V4.0 install

[Robert H. <rob...@ro...>]

I recently installed Version4.0 PatchLevel 0 on my Windows XP machine.  When
running wgnuplot.exe, everything appears to work ok, except that the font size
in the command window (NOT plotting windows) is so incredibly tiny that all the
text appears as 2x4 pixel blobs and is completely unreadable.  This makes it
VERY hard to learn about the program by playing around, since I can't read any
of its replies.

I have set the GNUPLOT_FONTPATH envrionment variable as mentioned in the
README.Windows file (even though I suspect it refers only to plot window fonts),
and have also installed a WGNUPLOT.INI example I found somewhere in the
documentation, but nothing helps.  I am tearing my hair out over this!

Right-click on the unreadable stuff.  Select "Choose Font...", and 
choose one.  Right-click again, select "Write ... wgnuplot.ini".
