You need more than just the fonts --- you still need the freetype
library to access them, too, I think.

So it seems we could withdraw to a position stated in INSTALL that says:

gnuplot+Windows+(current GD built as DLL)+(no libfreetype) == NO GO

AFAICS, this problem will not happen as soon as one of these conditions
is removed.  Having libfreetype around or just using a statically compiled
GD would probably be the easiest alternatives.
