[Gnuplot-bugs] Font /Symbol in eps

[Jan S. <jan...@lr...>]

the following script produces an symbol-font output in the key.

Description:
if the last letter in the xlabel statement is set in Symbol the 
ps-driver does not switch off the Symbol font,
and The text in the key appears in Symbol font.

Happens solely with  xlabel
and solely if the last letter is symbol

Workaround:
append a space in the xabel-text (only the last letter counts)

# original config.

# output into file
set output 'symbol_test.eps'
# perform plot
