Could not find/open font when opening font times,

gnuplot> show fontpath

        fontpath is
        system fontpath is "C:\WINNT\fonts"

That is the correct directory and there is a file
times.ttf in it.

current cvs

What happens if you say
  set term png font "C:\WINNT\fonts\times.ttf"

If that form works, then something is wrong with the 
search path processing.  However, if that form doesn't
work, then something is wrong with the font handling.
