When I use the "~a{0.8-}" notation, the legend suddenly becomes horizontal. For example, set terminal postscript eps color 20 enhanced set output "tmp.eps" set key vertical plot sin(x) t "~{/Symbol k}{0.5\261}" lw 3 lc 0, \ cos(x) t "{/Symbol k}" lw 3 lc 0 #plot sin(x) t "{/Symbol k}" lw 3 lc 0, \ # cos(x) t "{/Symbol k}" lw 3 lc 0 set output set terminal wxt If you comment out the first plot command and use the second version, the legends are arranged vertically, as expected. Whether this is a bug or not, I need to fix it. Could somebody provide a workaround? Thank you, Ryo
