It should still be "set encoding <encoding>", just the postscript driver
should load its encoding from a corresponding file. Other terminals work
differently.

I think that file could be a collection of files like in a2ps/encoding
directory.

In order to save disk space, it could be a single file gzipped? (Gnuplot
linked with libz (needed for libgd et al anyway) can read them directly.)

DOS is no longer supported in gnuplot beyond 4.0.
