Problems with Enhanced mode and Postscript

[Philipp K. J. <ja...@ie...>]

There seem to be some inconsistencies regarding
the behaviour of "escape" characters when using
enhanced text mode with Postscript terminals.

According to the documentation, backslashes
escape control characters. Furthermore, single
backslashes should be used with single-quoted
strings, but double backslashes with double-quoted
strings.

Here are the commands:
	set label 1 at 0,0 "f\\{x\\}"
	set label 2 at 0,1 'f\{x\}'
	plot [-1:1][-1:2] 3

This should create two labels, looking like:
	f{x}

Everything looks good (as expected) using
wxt enhanced.

But when using Postscript, I find output that
looks like this:
	f\x\
for both labels.

Is this a known issue?

Best,
