Re: set term png font bug?

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

Hello

I have find a solution.
I googled and found
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2007-October/002685.html

and I looked into libfontconfig-1.dll and found a string 'FONTCONFIG_PATH'

cmd prompt> set
FONTCONFIG_PATH=D:\usr\Tatsu\mingwhome\gnuplotcvs\test\gp45-winbin\gnuplot\bin\etc\fonts
cmd prompt> gnuplot

*******************
Terminal type set to 'windows'
gnuplot> set term png
Terminal type set to 'png'
Options are 'nocrop font arial 12 size 640,480 '
******************
Error message:

fontconfig: Couldn't retrieve font file name. when opening font "arial", using internal non-scalable
font 

is disappeared.

BTW
It is useful set the environmental variable 'FONTCONFIG_PATH' at the Control Panel.

Please google by keyword ' environmental variable windows XP' to set it on the Control Panel.

Anyway thanks to your report.

Regards

Tatsuro
