Details:

The attached 2 plots (Figure 15.7 in the Manual)
show a problem with the gnuplot tex interpreter.
The PDF testpdf.pdf is from 3.2.4, testpdf_3_5_0.pdf
is from the current 3.5.0+.

The chosen font for 3.5.0+  (and I am quite sure for
3.4.0) is smaller than under current 3.2.4.  It
is nearly unreadable.

While this is still under development for both gnuplot
and fltk, it would be good to try to recover the 3.2.4
functionality for gnuplot.

The script used, copied directly from the Manual pg. 258,
is also attached.  Note that it does not 
include the 'interpreter','tex' option, but works anyhow.
The use of "interpreter option" is mentioned in the current
Manual, but is not defined.
