Try "Jenna Sue" from here:
http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=603&page=1
Or there are lots of others to choose from.

"Jenna Sue" works fine with gnuplot on my Slackware 13.37 x86_64.
I installed the font first. 
Copied to JennaSue.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF
then ran (as root):
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
fc-cache -fv
xset fp rehash

I suppose other Linux have similar font install procedures.

Cheers,
Peter
