New terminal features

aqua: New terminal for Mac OS X. Requires AquaTerm 1.0 or later.

epslatex: New terminal. Prepares eps figures for inclusion in LaTeX documents.

gif: Support for this terminal has been dropped in favour of the png format for legal reasons; under usual configure conditions, old scripts that request gif will work but will produce a png file instead.

ggi: New full-screen interactive terminal for Linux. Interface to the General Graphics Interface Library.

pdf: New terminal exporting Adobe Portable Document Format. Requires libpdf.

png and jpeg: Support for both PNG and JPEG image output is provided by a new driver via libgd. The new driver supports many more features than the old png driver, including TrueType fonts. Requires libgd.

postscript: The PostScript driver now provides an oblique symbol font, and allows run-time inclusion of embedded PostScript fonts. It also supports additional character encodings. See postscript fontfile (p. [*]) and set encoding (p. [*]).

Sample script: fontfile.dem

svg: New terminal exporting Scalable Vector Graphics.

x11: The X-windows driver now allows you to specify fonts, see set term x11 x11_fonts (p. [*]). There is no longer a limit to the number of x11 plot windows opened simultaneously, and each plot window can be given its own title. See set term x11 (p. [*]).
