Re: Clogged tics in high-res pngcairo terminal

That output looks similar to previous reports that traced back to a bad
version of the pango/cairo libraries on the affected machines.  In other
words, to fix it you need to replace those libraries. No need to change
anything in gnuplot per se.  Previous reporters said that "downgrading" the
libraries fixed it for them but I do not remember the specific versions
involved.  Or if you are working in a LaTeX friendly environment, I suggest
using the tikz terminal to generate pdf output for use with pdflatex.
