Odd. I don't have anything at all there. The fonts are all in the 
MiKTex2.9 directory under "...\Program Files\"

There is even less there after installing gnuplot 5.4.3 which cleared up 
some rubble left by the 5.4.1 installation. Now there is no MiKTeX 
directory at all in the the AppData hierarchy.

I tried putting CP1252.enc in
"MiKTeX 2.9\fonts\enc\dvips\base"
as there is no ucs subdir. Choices are:

arabi base lm metapost newtx tetex tex-gyre txfonts

Private single user or global user access?

So am I. I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked :(
I have been fighting this problem for a while and getting nowhere.

5.4.3 behaves exactly the same. Putting cp1252.enc in various plausible 
places made no difference at all, but thanks to you I do now have one 
way of getting Greek characters into GNU plots that actually works.

set term cairolatex eps standalone

Works OK. Then PDF to EPS ought to do it <fx> crosses fingers</fx>.

Thanks again for all your help and Sample should be working code.
I think I can do everything I need using that terminal mode.
(if I can't then I will be back with some more questions)
