Hey! I noticed the same problem (for the y axis). The commands set logscale y set ytics 10 logscale actually produces a tic at every +10 and not ×10, makes that helps to find the origin of this problem. Thanks, Alex

Thanks a lot for your return! If I add PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc into the "gnuplotrc" initialisation file (if that's what you meant), I get the following infinite looping error msg: WARNING: Error during initialization Check initialization files and environment variables (e.g. GNUTERM) "C:\Program Files\gnuplot\share\gnuplotrc" line 48: load/eval nested too deeply where line 48 corresponds to PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc. However, I could change to Arial Unicode MS, which works as long as the fontscale in the...

If I use Arial as font, which doesn't include the used utf8 symbol, the output for each point is a squared box with the UTF-8 hex code: set terminal pngcairo font 'Arial' set output "out.png" plot FOO w p pt "\U+25D2" set output and see file attached. Using after pt a font indication works. But I didn't find this behavior documented: plot FOO w p pt "\U+25D2" font "Arial Unicode MS" And also...
