The problem is here.  You only opened the output file, but didn't clo=

it. The correct sequence is

=09set term {file-writing driver}
=09 set output
=09   plot something
=09 unset output
         set term {GUI}

The majority of interactive features of the windows terminal driver=

itself (font selection, line type redefinition) are actually=20
anachronisms.   They predate most capabilities of the gnuplot core=

controlling such things, and get in the way of implementing the new=

terminal API capabilities.  So if there's going to be change in this=

area, IMHO it should be in the opposite direction of what you're prop=
osing.
