That's most probably happening because your time labels are a good deal 
longer than typical numerical ones, or because your font is larger than 
gnuplot thinks it is?  Care giving a reproducible example so others can 
debug this more meaningfully?

Anyway: 'set timefmt' to create multi-line labels should help.

No --- there (still) is no such setting, except as a patch sitting on 
our bench at SourceForge.net.
