Did you exhaustively try out the 'offset' option to 'set xlabel'?  And 
what you mean by down "from" the xtic labels?

Sure "palatin_e_" isn't a typo?  I just ask because the other two times 
you wrote "palatin_o_"?

As to that list of supported font --- there isn't one, and there really 
can't be.  gnuplot doesn't "support" PostScript fonts.  It just passes 
what you told it into the PostScript file.  The instance that needs to 
support those fonts is your PostScript interpreter.

-1 is not a line color.  It's a linetype.  On some terminal drivers, 
that linetype will end up black.  If you don't like that, or want some 
other linetype in black, use the 'linecolor' option.
