Hi Sergey:

[...] It is up to you, but you should be aware that the plpoin API is
not recommended any more (except for old-fashioned device drivers)
since it was designed for the internal Hershey fonts that only have a
relatively small list of fairly ugly glyphs available.  I recommended
plstring instead of plpoin to you by design since it gives you ready
access to your system fonts (and the millions of different unicode
glyphs that are typically available for such fonts) for all modern
device drivers such as qt, cairo, wxwidgets, svg, psttf, etc.

With regard to your previous post concerning PLplot version, use
<http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.12.0/plgver.html>
to figure out which version you have.  (Note, that much of the PLplot
API does not change from one version to the next and, for example
plgver has been around for a very long time.  However, if your version
is not 5.12.0, building that latest version (the only one we support)
should be completely straightforward for you.  See
<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Home/> for details.
