Make plots with GNUplot. Have anyone tried that?

Seriously. Be specific if you have a problem. (read the posting guide). R can also plot. If you don't like R's plots (which I could not understand) you can export data and import them to gnuplot. So what?
Okay, my post was not very good. The reason (I think) I need GNUplot, is that I would like to include the plots from R in a Latex report, where I would like to have all the text and equations in the plots with the same font as used in Latex.
Take a look at "Non-standard fonts in PostScript and PDF graphics" in http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2006-2.pdf, plus http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/R/CM/CMR.html These describe one way to use LaTeX fonts in R plots. Paul
So when I read about opening and closing "dev" for making a pdf I figured that the plots that R produces are like the once Matlab makes; shows what they ought to, nothing more, nothing less. So I was wondering if anyone know of an GNUplot friendly format and the code that would produce that text file. I am new to both R and GNUplot, so I am pure ears if someone knows how to make such plots in R.
