That sounds like an entirely different problem.

The suggestion was not intended to maximize convenience, but rather
the resulting plot and document quality.  I would recommend the same
for Windows.  In fact, if anything the Windows bitmap image is worse
than that for x11 (certainly it's worse than for the new wxt terminal),
and you would see correspondingly more gain from using png/emf/eps
