#429 — Script font in gnuplot?

Hi,

a colleague wants to use script style fonts (i.e. that look like 
handwriting) in gnuplot, in particular, lower-case fonts. I tried the 
script fonts listed in gnuplot.pdf, but they didn't appear as script, 
but rather as some Courier-like font (maybe not properly reproduced by 
gv and ps2pdf). I guess that she'll need to include a separate font 
file. Does anyone know a free font that could be used here?

Best wishes,

Ingo

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

I forgot to say that I use these commands to use the font:
set term pdfcairo font "Jenna Sue,7.5" size 21.0 cm,29.7 cm
set output "measurements.pdf"

Thanks, I will forward these hints to my colleague.

Best wishes,
