Pgplot software : pgplot-5.2 . Upper case is e.g. PGPLOT-2.21 (PGPLOT.pm),
... which uses "perl graphics" ..

perl-PDL → perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot
http://search.cpan.org/~chm/PDL-2.4....PLOT/PGPLOT.pm

Also graphics : tcl-pgplot. ( libtkpgplot.so.5 ).

I don't know how to specify a graphics in a command using libcpgplot.so.5 directly.
( Font ? /usr/share/pgplot/grfont.dat ? ).
Which command did you use ? May be the tcl library or a perl module must be used ?
(( Perl PGPLOT-2.21 test.pl text:
.... $dev = "/XSERVE" ... ... $ENV{PGPLOT_XW_WIDTH}=0.3; ... ))

Google keywords, suggest :
pgplot special characters, pgplot specify, pgplot specify graphics
