[Gnuplot-info] postscript terminal differences between linux and windows

[Dr. I. D. J. <die...@t-...>]

Dear listmembers,
when plotting graphs I love to have arrows on all relevant axes. To achieve 
this, I usually do the following:

********************************************************************************
XPOS=-0.11
YPOS=-0.085
X2POS=1.11

set arrow 1 filled size graph 0.035,8 lt 16 lw 2 from graph XPOS,0.62 to graph 
XPOS,0.87
set arrow 2 filled size graph 0.035,8 lt 16 lw 2 from graph 0.6,YPOS to graph 
0.77,YPOS
set arrow 3 filled size graph 0.035,8 lt 16 lw 2 from graph X2POS,0.62 to 
graph X2POS,0.87

set output ("outfile.ps")
set terminal postscript enhanced color solid lw 2 "Arial,16"
......
*********************************************************************************

this works without any problem with linux, however I am facing a strange issue 
on the windows platform. The placement of the arrow - nice, as expected, but: 
the arrow tip is missing. In contrast, the tip is cut so that there is a 
straight end of the arrow the width of which is about the size of the line 
thickness.

Arrow tip on linux (solid, but cannot paint here)

I would love to provide an example via a ps file if someone would kindly look 
into this. I guess it is an issue of the postscript driver, however, this is 
strange because AFAIK the drivers ought to be the same (eps-terminal gives the 
same result)

Thank you very much, take care
