I think this is due to the font files not being found.
The quickest way: copy the *.fnt files you find in the data
directory into the directory where you start your program
(there are also two environment variable you can set:
PLPLOT_LIB and PLPLOT_HOME). The new chapter on deployment
in the documentation holds more information about this.
