Problem in GNU-plot - setting the interpreter property

[Robert Matussek]

Dear Octave experts,

 

currently I'm using Octave 3.4.3 with all pkgs (Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2_pkgs_20111026.7z) on Win7 (x64). I'm facing a problem with the interpreter property in plotting:

 

octave:123> get (gca (), "interpreter")

ans = none

octave:124> set (gca (), "interpreter", 'latex')

octave:125> get (gca (), "interpreter")

ans = latex

 

...

 

xlabel ('{\bf H} = a {\bf V}')          % Example

 

So the setup seems to work (only 'tex', 'latex' and 'none' are valid arguments) but the example, taken from http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/octave3/octave_172.html still is not interpreted to be bold font. Subscript, superscript and greek letters aren't interpreted either :(

 

I hope this is the correct mail address to refer to.

 

Thanks in advance for you help.

 

With best regards,

 

Rob.
