Thanks for your help and the suggested example. I suspect there must be 
a font missing somewhere but I don't know where or how to provide it.

I see exactly the same thing rendered with your example as with mine.

It renders without any reported errors and I see 5 faint black line 
rectangles where the labels should be starting at (0.0, 0.5). I estimate 
the line width of the rectangles to be about 1/3 that of the sine curve.

Possible progress... I tried deliberately setting a mode that I didn't 
expect to work "terminal jpeg enhanced" and got the following error msg:

set terminal jpeg enhanced
set out "ps-test.jpg"
plot sin(x)

gdImageStringFT: No character set found while printing string a b c d e 
with font Symbol.

In addition Gnupolt crashes fatally when I try to copy that error 
message. I'm still stuck and very confused as to what is wrong.
