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

In the Octave threads,

There was a mail, a part of which is the following

After that we are discussing with how to treat png term in the octave.
In the octave, the png term is categorized in enhanced term.
How can use it was the topic in the threads.

Espcially for symbol font was in the topic.

In windows, the symbol.ttf exist in c:\windows\fonts.

For Unix, how do you treat symbol font in png terminal?
