 The default font table includes the fonts recommended for WebCGM, which
 are compatible with the Computer Graphics Metafile input filter for
 Microsoft Office and Corel Draw.  Another application might use
 different fonts and/or different font names, which may not be
 documented.  As a workaround, the `nofontlist` option deletes the font
 table from the CGM file.  In this case, the reading application should
 use a default table.  Gnuplot will still use its own default font table
 to select font indices.  Thus, 'Helvetica' will give you an index of 1,
 which should get you the first entry in your application's default font
 table. 'Helvetica Bold' will give you its second entry, etc.

 The former `winword6` option is now a deprecated synonym for
 `nofontlist`.  The problems involving the color and font tables that
 the `winword6` option was intended to work around turned out to be
 gnuplot bugs which have now been fixed.
