What terminal driver?  Which version of gnuplot?  Which font did you use,
at which size?

Note that for the majority of PostScript fonts this task is harder than
you may be aware of: With proportional fonts, gnuplot has no means to know
how wide a given string is actually going to be on output.  Even with
fixed-width fonts, it has to guess that width from the font size you gave
it, because it doesn't have access to font metrics.
