I somewhat doubt there are actual blanks.  What you see there is
gnuplot guessing the actual width of a text stream incorrectly.  That's
impossible to avoid in the current design, because gnuplot simply
doesn't know the metrics of PostScript fonts, and it's not very likely
it ever will.

You'll do better by choosing a fixed-width font, usually.  For the
remaining cases, you have option 'width' in the 'set key' command
to fix them up manually.
