Okay, thanks for the insightful information. I'm taking a look at the
gnuplot 4.2 documentation, and it seems to be at least intended to be
more coherent concerning different drivers.

Anyway, maybe I'm missing the point, but for the postscript terminal the
manual says

{{font} "fontname{,fontsize}" {<fontsize>}}
and
"<fontname>" is the name of a valid PostScript font;

So my preliminary conclusion from this would be that there's a choice of
font names like "Times-Roman", "Helvetica", etc. in double quotes, which
appears to be different syntax from the png terminal. Also, the list of
Truetype fonts offered in the gretl dialog would be more or less
irrelevant or invalid for postscript.

Is this reasoning correct?

cheers,
sven
