Yes, once PLplot is installed, and you let python know where the PLplot
python modules are installed, that is the correct way to call a python
script with PLplot command-line options. But first things first; get
the PLplot install working (see previous e-mail) before worrying about this.

I can highly recommend the gucharmap application which allows you to look at
all unicode blocks and how your installed system fonts look for those
blocks. For example, I have the cmsy10 TrueType font (which is a TrueType
representation of the Latex math symbol fonts) installed on my system, and
indeed when I switch to viewing that with gucharmap it looks like the
calligraphic version of characters are in the normal latin alphabet places.
So if you render an upper case E with the cmsy10 TrueType font, it appears
you will get what you want. First, make sure the cmsy10 TrueType font is
installed on your system. After that take the following PLplot steps: (a)
specify the TrueType font cmsy10 as one of the 30 fonts that can be
described by an FCI; (b) embed that FCI (Font Characterization Integer) in
your string to change to that font; (c) follow that FCI in the string with
an "E"; and (d) follow that "E" with another FCI to change back to your
original string font. See
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.7.2/characters.html
for details of how to do all these steps.
