Title output weird fonts for gplt after xlabel with a greek font

[Lingyun]

I met a strange problem. The code below runs OK in matlab. But I tried to run it in octave, the title fonts output strange.
xlabel('\lambda(nm)')
ylabel('\epsilon_i')
title('Imaginary part of the permittivity of gold')
Then the title output all in Greek letters instead of normal english letters.
But if xlabel contains normal English letters, then the title output correctly.
How to fix it?

Thanks.

What system are you using? And what Octave version?

See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.bugs/9843
for the problem.

In short, I wanted to avoid one problem with gnuplot and introduced
another. The patch was changed since then, but the current Ubuntu
version still has the old patch.

You are for now best off setting the font explicitely using set().

Thomas (others?),

I don't see this problem with 3.03 or with the developer's sources.

Can someone confirm? ... I'm wondering if the absence foe me is due  
running the developer's gnuplot (4.3, and about a week old).
