Hello,

I'm sorry if I caused any confusion. Thanks to the main developer of
GD for clearing it out, after adding the following command to gd.trm
    gdFTUseFontConfig(1);
gnuplot stoped complaining about "arial not found".

See:
http://lib.gd/Font#int_gdFTUseFontConfig.28int_flag.29_.28FUNCTION.29

Would it be possible to fix gnuplot in that respect? I'm not sure
where this command should go, and I'm not sure how to make sure that
providing comlete path to some font will still work, but it would be
really nice to both prevent throwing that error about font not found
and to enable searching for font system-wide.
