No. However, you might try the eps option:

  set terminal postscript eps

or, e.g.,

  set terminal postscript eps NimbusRomNo9L-Regu 16

Guenter,

  Initially I set t postscript eps enhanced and tried to have gnuplot accept
the palladio typeface. No joy there. Rather than wasting more time with
this, I switched to Times and that worked.

  The eps output rotated itself so I regenerated the plot as ps; no
difference. Both need to be rotated in lyx to appear properly in the

Rich,

I have no idea why this has happened, but I don't use gnuplot because
this kind of thing seems to happen with it. Instead I use xmgrace,
which can do exactly what I think you're trying to do, and can export
directly to either PDF or EPS, either of which will probably behave
better than PS when included as a figure.

Not that this will help, but I recall this phenomenon some years ago. 
For me (using linux) the problem has not reappeared in some time.

  Well, since I've run only linux since 1977, and haven't used gnuplot since
1998, all I can tell you is that it happened with this one plot on a linux
box. :-)

  Personally, I prefer PSTricks, but each day's rainfall total is a discrete
amount unrelated to prior and succeeding days. This means that any sort of
line plot (including time series) is inappropriate. Such bar plots have a
