Well, I can see that you didn't set enhanced text mode.
Why are the labels bigger than the other text?

At this point I think we need to see your actual commands.
Also please re****t the version of the cairo and pango libraries you are
linking against.

But normally you wouldn't be switching between eps and pdf;
you would just work with the one you want.

Please note that you are using a driver (pdfcairo) marked "EXPERIMENTAL"
in the development version.  We know it's not perfect yet.  You may well
have found a bug, although so far I still suspect external font problems.
But I do find it strange that your point labels are a different size than
the axis labels.  That seems bug-like.  How does it look if you output
to the PNG terminal directly?

Please try your plot again and post the results using

   set term pdfcairo font "Times,6" enhanced size 5in,3.5in

Can you post the pdf output itself, rather than converting to png?
After all, we could also worry about possible problems in the conversion
program you are using to convert or view the pdf file.
