You guessed correctly! The default xterm font was too small.

I'm using gnuplot*font in addition to xterm*font (the same font in both cases) in my .Xresources, but gnuplot (x11 term) still misinterpret utf-8 strings as iso-8859-1. > Anyway, this is not the user's job to choose the right font encoding. > The bug is in the default settings, and these settings should work in > any locale. I agree, and I use the default Debian configuration for most things, but the Debian default charset is ISO-8859-1. Since I decided to switch to utf-8, I had to reconfigure some things (this is my home desktop). Regards, -- Jakson A.
