I didn't notice that tutorial/eg7.tex is generated.

I found the culprit: it's "set encoding iso_8859_1" in `~/.gnuplot'.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cd tutorial
$ make clean
$ cat ~/.gnuplot
set encoding iso_8859_1
$ make eg7.tex
if test -x ../src/gnuplot ; then GNUPLOT_PS_DIR=../term/PostScript GNUPLOT_LIB=. GNUTERM=latex ../src/gnuplot eg7.plt ; else gnuplot eg7.plt ; fi
$ head -n6 eg7.tex

Does gnuplot have a "-no-init-file" option?  Such an option should be
used when generating tutorial/eg*.tex.

Bye, Reiner.
