Your PDF looks to be produced using the gnuplot graphics_toolkit, correct?  
Please also tell us which version of Octave you are running.

If so, then either (1) the "interpreter" isn't set to "TeX", or (2) Gnuplot 
isn't working correctly.  Try ...

        set (findall (gcf (), "-property", "interpreter"), "interpreter", "TeX")

... and then try creating the PDF.
