Thank you for your bug report. This has been a long-standing item to work on and has actually just recently been fixed in the development version of Octave. To get TeX support, you can test the development version of Octave or wait until the upcoming 3.8.0 release of Octave. You will also have to use fltk for plotting instead of gnuplot.

Hi,

I have tried to format the label of an axis of a figure obtain from gnuplot using \it but instead I am getting only the extra string /*-italic or /-italic depending on the version.

To reproduce the error you can use the code

plot(1:0.1:2,1:0.1:2)
xlabel('\it x')

The axis label is obtained as '/-italic x', instead of the italic letter x.

I have also tried \bf (bold font) and \sl (slanting) with similar results. The error was also present on Ubuntu 10.04 with version Octave 3.2.3.

Thank you.

Pierre
