From the symptoms you describe, I am pretty sure you are using the
historical Hershey fonts rather than modern TrueType fonts. During the build
of libplplot, did you have a warning about not being able to find
libfreetype? That library (in its development form) is required during the
build in order to access TrueType fonts from the png device.
Build instructions for PLplot are given at
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/. If you continue to have trouble
getting access to libfreetype and TrueType fonts could you send the complete
output for the cmake command?

Hi all,
Thanks Alan, it was clearly a problem of fonts.
My administrator has re-compiled the library and now
I have access to nice TrueTypeFonts.
Pratically, the environment variables PLPLOT_FREETYPE_*
are set to ttf fonts (see below) but now, I can't find the same table
of symbols (output of example x06, using plpoin)
than I've accessed to with the Hershey fonts.
Does anyone know which TrueType font is used by plpoin ?
(it seems that "Symbol" is not the right one...)
regards,
Bruno
