I am redirecting this to the correct list.

PLplot requires the font files to be in the installed location.  So I believe
you need to install PLplot (including the fonts) before the examples will work.
For Unix and Linux you install by running the command 'make install'.  I
have no windows experience with PLplot, but I notice some documentation
in sys/win32/msdev that may help you out.
