You don't need to do any of this path stuff for pdf.
Just say:
set label "something" font "wingdings"
gnuplot doesn't need to know where the wingdings font is.
In fact, you don't even need to have a wingdings font on the machine
where you are running gnuplot. It is up to the pdf viewer to find a
font with that name or an appropriate substitute.
Same for PostScript output.
[NB: Yes, you would need to have a local copy of the font if you want
to embed it in the gnuplot output, but that's a separate question].
If you are mixing fonts within a label, then you should use
gnuplot's enhanced text mode. But here also the font can be
referred to simply by its face name.
