I do not have system with Aquaterm available, so I just go by docs for 
gnuplot 4.0:

<<<<
Syntax:

           set terminal aqua {<n>} {title "<wintitle>"} {size <x> <y>}
                             {fname "<fontface>"} {fsize <fontsize>}
     

>>>>

You can try do drop "fname" part or abbreviate it with "fn"...

Perhaps next year, somebody with MacOS at hand could make a more definitive
answer.

Sincerely,
 
Dmitri.
