[Gnuplot-info] Re: symbol font on png - SOLVED

[G. <Eri...@nr...>]

I did build the latest CVS version of gnuplot, upgrading ALL the libraries=
 in the process (pdf/png/gd/zlib/jpeg/freetype).
Symbol fonts now display properly.

FYI: I could not build GD 2.0.28 with PNG 1.2.7.  I had to use PNG 1.2.6.

 The only characters I get in my plots are squares (when using the symbol=
 font).
