Details:

Hi,

I have tried to format the label of an axis of a figure obtain from gnuplot
using \it but instead I am getting only the extra string /*-italic or /-italic
depending on the version.

To reproduce the error you can use the code

plot(1:0.1:2,1:0.1:2)
xlabel('\it x')

The axis label is obtained as '/-italic x', instead of the italic letter x.

I have also tried \bf (bold font) and \sl (slanting) with similar results. The
error was also present on Ubuntu 10.04 with version Octave 3.2.3.

Thank you.

Pierre
