Cairo (pdfcairo, pngcairo, epscairo, wxt terminals)

These terminals find and access fonts using the external fontconfig tool set. Please see the

http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-user.htmlfontconfig user manual.

It is usually sufficient in gnuplot to request a font by a generic name and size, letting fontconfig substitute a similar font if necessary. The following will probably all work:

    set term pdfcairo font "sans,12"
    set term pdfcairo font "Times,12"
    set term pdfcairo font "Times-New-Roman,12"
