  • bad character resolution when I start gnuplot

    From Jean-Pierre Coulon@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 11 17:53:02 2020
    Each time I start gnuplot the gnuplot> prompt and my commands in the
    gnuplot window have a very bad resolution (about 4-pixel height for a character). The names of the tabs above are fine. When I click Options,
    Choose Font I find size=12. I don't change it and click OK and then the characters are back to normal. Any idea?

    I take it you are on Windows? Which one? Gnuplot version? Since when
    (i.e. did you update gp or windows) does this occur?

    OK, nobody updated *those* for a while. Quite an antique system you
    have there! ;-)

    You can check if wgnuplot.ini contains sth. strange, and try to
    rename or delete it. No idea how it could have been messed up, but
    that´s where the font settings are stored.

    I made update wgnuplot.ini and now gnuplot remembers the right font!
