[Gnuplot-info] Using euler AMS fonts with postscript terminal

[Stéphane T. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am using Euler AMS fonts with a postscript terminal and I generate an .eps with it. (I am using the euler pfb fonts from AMS website: http://www.ams.org/publications/authors/tex/amsfonts)

for instance I create a file example.plot

set term postscript fontfile 'eurm10.pfb'
set term postscript eps color enhanced 'EURM10' 12
set output 'result.eps'
plot sin(x) title 'This is a sinus function'

then I create the eps file with gnuplot (version 4.4 from macports)
gnuplot example.plot

This works fine and the font seems correctly loaded, except that some character replacement occurs when I transform the .eps into a pdf. All the spaces are replaced with a greek letter (a psy). Did anyone already came across this issues.

I have tried several solutions to create the pdf on my Mac (Snow Leopard):
open -a preview result.eps
and
eps2pdf result.eps

But both output the same odd characters.

I have tried to display the eps with ghostview and got the same problem.

Is it due to a wrong font loading into the eps file ? Or is it a postscript to pdf transformation issue ?
I cannot see any other way to load a specific font into the pdf than first creating an eps with the postscript terminal, but maybe I am wrong.

Thank your for your help.

Regards,

Stéphane.
