[Pkg-octave-devel] Wrong octave/gnuplot plot output

Hi you all Octave and gnuplot maintainers,
and thank you for maintaining such science apps in Debian!

I'm having some trouble with plotting in Octave on Wheezy, and cannot 
understand which package
(octave, gnuplot, or one of their dependencies) is to blame.

With
print -dpng octave36.png
I get that ugly font that doesn't even fit in the image's area,
while on the popup plot window, right font is used, but wrong size.

The same command, in Octave under Squeeze gave the octave32.png result 
which is, according to me,
the right one.

Probably this problem got already reported on 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36052 ,
(please take a look also here 
https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2012-March/027240.html 
)
but it isn't sure which package gave rise to this problem, in order to 
fix it.

Could you please check this?
Thank you
Marco
