Wrong octave/gnuplot plot output

[Marco Mattiolo]

Hi you all Octave and gnuplot maintainers,
and thank you for maintaining such science apps in Debian!

I'm having some trouble with plotting in Octave on Wheezy, and cannot
understand which package (octave, gnuplot, or one of their dependencies)
is to blame.

With
print -dpng octave36.png
[1] I get that ugly font that doesn't even fit in the image's area,
while on the popup plot window, [2] right font is used, but wrong size.

The same command, in Octave under Squeeze gave the [3] result
which is, according to me, the right one.

Probably this problem got already reported on this octave bug [4] ,
(please also take a look at this discussion [5])
but it isn't sure which package gave rise to this problem, in order to
fix it.

Could you please check this?
Thank you
Marco
