Re: set term png font bug?

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello Jie Wu

cc. gnu...@li... (cc. to there as a reference)

Thank you for your report.
This might be an error around fontconfig file and its path.
I do not have enough time to fully fix it.

However, please try temporary treatment in the following 


***********************
Please use  

http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/winbin
Please download
gp45-winbin_2009_1106.zip

Please copy all files and folders in gp45-winbin\gnuplot\bin to "C:\Program Files\Gnuplot4.5"

and execute gnuplot.exe, wgnuplot.exe wgnuplot_pipes.exe there. 

"C:\Program Files\Gnuplot4.5" is the install folder at building of gnuplot.
***********
Hope the above helps.


Perhaps etc/fonts/font.conf should be placed on "C:\Program Files\Gnuplot4.5" and 
gnuplot binaries should be placed there.

Perhaps there are other solutions but I cannot find at present.

Regards

Tatsuro
