Hello! I use the enhanced postscript terminal, and I want to label axes
with greek letters; is there a way to put two symbols above each other,
like a bar over a delta? In other words, can I do something like
\bar{\Delta} in the latex terminal? I tried using the sub/super scripts
on empty space, but it looks awkward and never fits exactly. Any hints
greatly appreciated!

The only way to get to reliably fit exactly would be to use the
pslatex terminal, and let LaTeX deal with this. If you want to stick
with enhanced postscript, check out the "phantom box" operator ---
this is what it's meant for.

Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.

Here is my solution:
set ylabel "&{i}@^{/Symbol \055}_{/Symbol D}"
It looks fine, thanks all for your help.
