<div class="markdown_content"><p>Thanks <a class="user-mention" href="/u/tmacchant3/">@tmacchant3</a>. It worked. <br/> What I did earlier was to change the environmental variable after installing gnuplot. But now I changed the environmental variable before installing and there are no font issues as such (atleast for now XD) </p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p><a class="user-mention" href="/u/tmacchant3/">@tmacchant3</a> How do I go about setting the environmental variable? I have tried going to Control Panel → System → Advanced → Environmental Variables and created a global variable PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND and set its value to fc</p> <p>However, the kerning issue still persisted. I didn't face a similar issue in version 5.2.8. Do you think that I should revert to that version before this issue is fixed?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>If I set <code>PANGOCAIRO_BACKEND=fc</code> , it seems be better.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Thank you for your reply and the links. In one of those links, I've found the following comment:</p> <blockquote> <p>As of Aug. 24, 2020, the version of Pango on homebrew is 1.46.1 and this bug seems to have been fixed. Doing a clean installation of Gnuplot and Pango via homebrew should solve this problem.</p> </blockquote> <p><a class="" href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/63564204/12424992" rel="nofollow">https://stackoverflow.com/a/63564204/12424992</a></p> <p>Would it be possible to incorporate this newer version of pango into gnuplot? That is, if it actually solves the problem. I don't know how to test this myself.</p></div>
