I think the reencoding of fonts also is level 1. According to the Language
Reference, /ISOLatin1Encoding is only predefined in Postscript Level 2.
But the gnuplot postscript files (re)define /ISOLatin1Encoding anyway that
a Postscript Level 2 interpreter is not necessary. As a test I have tried
to view a postscript output file without the definition of
/ISOLatin1Encoding. And it works both with gs and with a Level-2 printer.
