[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36052] Incorrect font in eps output produced by the gnuplot backend

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #36052 (project octave):

The following configuration in your octaverc would solve the problem for you:


set(0, 'defaultaxesfontname', 'Helvetica');
set(0, 'defaultaxesfontsize', 10);


Substitute whatever settings you like as your defaults.

I looked into this at some length for a different problem and came across the
same line causing the problem for me.  See

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/3-6-1-produces-eps-files-that-are-unusable-on-Debian-wheezy-td4438420.html

I don't think we never came to a consensus in that thread on whether this
should be changed in Octave or not.  I think the question is whether Octave
should be in charge of setting a valid default font or whether it should be
left to ghostscript to select the default font.
