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

[Stéphane T. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi Dieter,

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

I already tried the encoding trick and it did not work out. Changing postscript instead of eps gives the same odd character substitutions (e.g., for spaces and commas).

As you suggested I have also tried to generate pdf with gs. I get the following log, which I do not really understand:
GPL Ghostscript 8.71 (2010-02-10)
Copyright (C) 2010 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.
This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
Loading StandardSymL font from %rom%Resource/Font/StandardSymL... 2770636 1219980 2210916 924585 2 done.

Why is it trying to load SymL fonts ?

Another possibility could be that the AMS font transformation pfb to pfa does not work properly (gnuplot does it automatically) but I don't know how I could figure that out.

regards,

Stéphane.
