How to fix PANGO & gdImageStringFT: could not...

Previous suggestion:
set(0, 'defaulttextfontname', '*');

Best solution on windows machine:
putenv("GNUTERM", "win")

Suggested by Tatsuro on the GNU pages. He also suggests that this is a problem Michael may be able to fix in subsequent builds of Octave for windows by using ("GNUTERM", "win") instead of the wxt terminal which seems to be what is causing the problem.

This isn't really a bug, but I wasn't sure where to put it, I suppose I should post this to Octave Forge as well?

All thanks go to Tatsuro.

The wxt terminal may have some advantages to windows term so that Michael has been using wxt terminal
on windows, I suppose.

setenv("GNUTERM", "win") in octaverc was suggested in gnuplot ML by me.

I intend to show the above as a temporally avoiding way.

(Plese do not write GNUplot and write  'gnuplot' because 'gnuplot' is not under GPL.(GNU Public
License).)

Did you tried octave 3.0.3 on msvc?

The suggestion I made in guplot ML was not appropriate.
The best place is octave-dev list because octave for windows uploaded on the Octave-Forge web space.

I also send this mail also to
octave-dev <octave-dev@...>

If you do not subscribe octave-dev list, please subscribe first.

Regards

Tatsuro

My apologies if I've done something improper as well.

On another note, these errors have been taken care for basic text needs. I'm now looking into plotting and saving information that was produced using .tex formatted strings.

Plotting .tex strings is fine.

However, again saving them throws gdImageStringFT errors. This time, gdImageStringFT is looking for the font Symbol. I imagine Symbol is set somewhere inside of Octave, since I found no documentation in gnuplot or its associated libraries.

Where is Symbol and how do I set it to something that is actually on my machine? Thank you.
