Apparently you missed my message:

I think the problem you mention falls into the same or a similar
category, in that gnuplot simply has no way to plot a consistent set
of markers for all terminal types, nor does it have a way to
independently specify the marker face color and the marker edge color
for any given marker.  If anyone has a quick solution for these
problems, then please submit a patch.
