I rather sure that the *order* of the commands to gnuplot do not  
change when the paperposition changes. I'll try to resurrect gnuplot  
4.2.3 on my Mac by hacking my package manager's package description  
(if I'm successful, I'll be able to run 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 4.2.5, and 4.3.x).

Regarding the fontnames, do you get the same number of errors?
