Re: set term png font bug?

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA-5]

Hello Jie Wu

cc. gnuplot-beta@... (cc. to there as a reference)

Thank you for your report.
This might be an error around fontconfig file and its path.
I do not have enough time to fully fix it.

However, please try temporary treatment in the following


***********************
Please use  

http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/winbin
Please download
gp45-winbin_2009_1106.zip

Please copy all files and folders in gp45-winbin\gnuplot\bin to "C:\Program Files\Gnuplot4.5"

and execute gnuplot.exe, wgnuplot.exe wgnuplot_pipes.exe there.

"C:\Program Files\Gnuplot4.5" is the install folder at building of gnuplot.
***********
Hope the above helps.


Perhaps etc/fonts/font.conf should be placed on "C:\Program Files\Gnuplot4.5" and
gnuplot binaries should be placed there.

Perhaps there are other solutions but I cannot find at present.

Regards

Tatsuro

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

OK. I am glad my reply being help for you.

In addition, set the GDFONTPATH environmental variable. please see 'help gd'.

I set it to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.

Instruction is now under construction. It will upload it to my web if it is finished.
However I have been occupied by university work, I cannot say when it will be finished at present.

Hello

In the make files of windows version (MSVC and MinGW), readline is not implemented by the defaults.
(There is not any flag on them.)

Therefore it is not implemented in my distribution.
It's not a bug.

At present I would not like to implement the readline because it is also not implemented official
distributions of gnuplot for windows

For further questions, I ask you subscribe to gnuplot mailing list and discuss it in public public
style.

Discussions on the ML site will be benefit to other users.

Regards

Tatsuro

More to the point, libreadline can't work with wgnuplot.  There's no
terminal for it to work with, only our own rather limited emulation of
one.  So there would really be no point trying to activate it.
