I've run octave using each of the gnuplot versions above and do see  
the same font errors for 4.2.3. For the other versions, I see a  
different font error for x11 but no errors for aqua. For x11 I get  
"setting font to ,12".

For gnuplot versions > 4.2.3 moving the set command has no effect.

Running with the gnuplot terminal set to wxt (export GNUTERM=wxt), I  
only get one error

	octave:1> test_print
	         line 0: undefined variable: size

So it appears I have a few problems to track down.
