Works for me on MacOSX using gnuplot's x11 terminal as well. However, it does not work using Aquaterm.

My guess is that it's the font too. However, in Linux, is there a way to just type an infinity symbol in a text string. I use OS X, and like Ben title '\infty' doesn't work with Aquaterm. However, if I just type the infinity symbol (Option-5, ∞, in OS X) as part of the string, it does.
