[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49135] gnuplot: Default font must be set for "windows" terminal

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #49135 (project octave):

Using drawnow('windows', 'dummy', 'debug.gp')
I found title is drawn by like


set label "sqrt (abs (x y)) / (1 + x^2 + y^2)" (snip) font "Helvetica:Bold,
24"


So I tested on gnuplot 5.0.4 windows.


set title "test" font ":bold, 12"  
plot x


No warnings appeared.

However, if title has enhanced specification like "^".


set title "test ^1" font ":bold, 12"  
plot x


The above gave


Warning:  font ":bold" not available, trying "Arial" instead.
Warning:  font ":bold" not available, trying "Arial" instead.
Warning:  font ":bold" not available, trying "Arial" instead.
Warning:  font ":bold" not available, trying "Arial" instead.
Warning:  font ":bold" not available, trying "Arial" instead.


The situation was the same if I use syntax like the below 


set title '{/:bold test ^1}' font ',20' 


On wxt on windows, 
warning appears regardless enhanced specification like "^".


I cannot judge weather the behaviors are bugs or features of gnuplot.
Anyway I will ask the above behaviors in the gnuplot mailing list.
