Hi,

for a report I'm trying to generate a plot with gnuplot. I'd like to
have a thin space(*) between the value and the unit in the legend of the
plot, which is done in LaTex by "\,". Unfortunately, I cant manage
this in gnuplot. Here comes a minimal example:

set terminal postscript eps enhanced 28 rounded
set encoding utf8
set output 'out.eps'
plot 1/(x+5) ti 'He, 1 keV/µm',\
     1/(x+5)**2 ti 'Li, 5 keV/µm'
set output
unset output

What I already tried was to copy&paste a thin space out of a latex pdf
between the numbers and the units, generated by "\,". But this changes
literally nothing in the resulting eps file. I also could not found any
hints in the Internet.

Can somebody give me a clue how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Uwe
