pstricks produces LaTeX output, and therefore the text 
processing is done by LaTeX rather than by gnuplot.
Your choice of terminal bypasses the built-in gnuplot
font and text formatting commands.   If you want gnuplot
to do the text layout, use "set term postscript" 
(or pdf or eps or ...) instead.
