Re: Different font size rendering on different machines with pdf terminal

Hey,

there might be also the fontscale parameter. But not sure why this should
be different on different machines (if you use the same initialisation)
A work around could be to read out the computer name and depending on this
you set the terminal automatically to font size 6 or 12,
e.g.:
if(system("hostname") eq "PC1") { font = 12}
else { font = 6}
set terminal pdf font "Times-New-Roman,".font

Best,
Alex
