Aha.
What a difference it makes to see what you are actually trying to do :-)
I mis-understood the original description. Sorry.
I thought you were trying to get a different size font for the
symbol as compared to the rest of the text, as in:
set xlabel "{/Symbol=20 q}, radians"
This works fine in both gnuplot 4.2 and cvs.
But as I know understand it, your observation is that the command
set xlabel "{/Symbol q}, radians" font <face,size>
does not change the initial font used by enhanced text processing.
In other words, it should act equivalently to
set xlabel "{/Helvetica=20 {/Symbol q}, radians}"
but it doesn't.
Yes, the x11 terminal seems to behave differently that other terminals
in this regard, which is a bug.
The command variant above demonstrates a work-around
to use for 4.2 and current cvs.
thanks for the report
