Glad to see you fixed the above issue in master already. I have now noticed two further issues. 1. The default geometry should be changed from the current portrait aspect ratio to landscape aspect ratio, i.e., the default aspect ratio number should be inverted so that the physical range of X is greater than the physical range of Y. That change will make every standard plot look much better because all our standard plots are designed for devices that deliver a landscape-style aspect ratio by default. 2. For example 24 many of the glyphs are being displayed as empty square boxes which means the appropriate glyphs are not being found from my system fonts. There are no such problems for the other standard examples (23 and 26) that tend to use unicode characters a lot. I am virtually positive that the default backend (wxG??, i.e., the one that did _not_ use the deprecated plfreetype approach) for the old wxwidgets device had no font trouble at all with example 24. Of course, this missing glyph issue could be a plbuf one so once Jim finishes plmeta and plrender, then it will be interesting to see if rendering example 24 to a plmeta file and using plrender to replay it to say the svg device (which normally gives excellent results for example 24) generates the correct results for that example.
