Hello,
I'm taking the liberty of including the list in the reply to your 
message, since some others can give you a more complete answer.

You enter the Maxima webpage, http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ and at the 
bottom on the page click on the blue link where it says:

"Questions about Maxima or this site: mailing list"


That will take you to a page where you see a link for "Subscription".

You have to use a command specific to Gnuplot. The problem is that the 
"terminal" used by Gnuplot in different machines is different and I 
don't know which terminal your Windows version of Gnuplot is using.

In my system (Ubuntu) if I run gnuplot and type "show term", I 
discovered that the terminal used is wxt. Using plot2d or plot3d, I will 
then do the following to increase the size of the font by 50%:


plot2d(x^2,[x,0,2],[gnuplot_term,"wxt fontscale 1.5"]);


or, if I want all plots to have that increased sized font:


set_plot_option([gnuplot_term,"wxt fontscale 1.5"])$

plot2d(x^2,[x,0,2]);


I don't use Wxmaxima so I cannot help you with wxplot. Perhaps there is 
an option for that, or you can use "gnuplot_png_term_command" instead of 
gnuplot_term, but you have to find out what terminal wxplot is using for 
gnuplot.
