The example plot shown about 2/3rds of the way down that page shows the same
relative sized font as I see it here, which is very very close to being too
big, saved only by the title area being about 90% less busy than amplots
output format is. A font size choice 40% of the one used would be about
right for an output as busy as amplots is.
Fooling around, I see it is supposed to be able to generate a .ps file too,
but when output to a .ps, only the graph is drawn, nothing outside the box
makes it to the display except the characters associated with the tic marks.
A very tall, sparsely populated portrait format results.
So there is bug #2 for amplot. I should let that dog sleep, now its barking
will keep me awake nights & I'm not smart enough to fix it. I don't speak
awk. :-(
