[Gnuplot-info] Font problem on windows 7, 64 bit

[Patrick C. <pat...@u-...>]

Hi,
I have used gnuplot on windows XP for a short while and now I
changed for windows 7 and a 64 bit processor. I'm running gp442win32.
I'm calling gnuplot from a c++ program compiled with codeblocks.
On
windows 7, the graphs open with all plots correctly plotted but all text
is badly displayed:
minus sign turns into a capital a with a weird
sign on,
dot turns into a c, space turns into a rectangle...
The
graphs are hardly understandable in the end.

It looks like a
font compatibility problem but I have no clue how to solve this.
I
tried looking for a 64 bit specific version of gnuplot but couldn't.
Do you have an idea on what to do?
Thanks

What kind of processor you have isn't particularly relevant.  The 
important thing is what mode your Windows runs it in, i.e. is that a 
64-bit or 32-bit edition of Windows?

You should set that aside.  Start by using gnuplot _yourself_, manually. 
  You need to establish what works, and how, before you hand over 
control to a program.

Looks like you somehow defaulted to a non-text font (Symbol, WingDings 
or whatever).  You'll have to configure your fonts before you go on.

Which terminal driver do you use there?  WXT, Windows, or some graphics 
file format?
