Please note that the original example that I responded to
was *not* using the PostScript driver. This was the 
original complaint:

The png driver has always supported "set term png size xx, yy".

Nevertheless, since you ask....

Step 1
    set term post enh solid color "Helvetica" 18
    set output 'geodesics.eps'
    set size 0.5, 0.75
    plot ...
    set output

Step 2
    add the string "EPSF-2.0" at the end of the first line of
    geodesics.eps


No, I'm not saying this is convenient. That's why I'm 
trying to push acceptance of the new patch to add explicit
size info to the "set term post" command.
