Hello
Sorry I have misled what you would like to say.
However you should read help of gnuplot carefully.
>From gnuplot help of png terminal
If gnuplot was built with support for TrueType (*.ttf) or Adobe Type 1 (*.pfa)
fonts, they may be
selected using the 'font <face> {<pointsize>}' option. <face> is either the
full pathname to the font
file, or a font face name that is assumed to be the first part of a filename
in one of the
directories listed in the GDFONTPATH environmental variable. That is, 'set
term png font "Face"' will
look for a font file named either <somedirectory>/Face.ttf or
<somedirectory>/Face.pfa. Both TrueType
and Adobe Type 1 fonts are fully scalable and may be rotated through any
angle. If no font is
specified, gnuplot checks the environmental variable GNUPLOT_DEFAULT_GDFONT to
see if there is a
preferred default font.
Helvetica font is not a TrueType font.
Helvetica is one of the postscript basic font(Adobe Type 1 ).
Perhaps you need Adode software to get it.
But this is my speculation.
If somebody knows the detailed knowdlge of Adobe fonts, please reply.
John W. Eaton,
I think it is better to use the Arial font instead of Helvetica font for png
terminal.
The Arial is the substituing font of the Helvetica in the ttf fonts.
It will be better to include the modification in 2.9.18.
