Re: [Gnuplot-info] Different font size rendering on different machines with pdf terminal

[Alexander S. <ma...@st...>]

Hey,

there might be also the fontscale parameter. But not sure why this should
be different on different machines (if you use the same initialisation)
A work around could be to read out the computer name and depending on this
you set the terminal automatically to font size 6 or 12,
e.g.:
if(system("hostname") eq "PC1") { font = 12}
else { font = 6}
set terminal pdf font "Times-New-Roman,".font

Best,
Alex
