[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#477688: [octave3.0] print()'ing a figure with title or (x|y)labels fails with gdImageStringFT error

[Didier Raboud]

Package: octave3.0
Version: 1:3.0.1-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi, 

If I enter the following in Octave 3.0.1-1 :
--- Test Case ---
figure;
plot(1:2,1:2);
xlabel('Label X');
ylabel('Label Y');
title('Title');
legend('Blue Line');
print('/tmp/testcase.png');
--- /Test Case ---

After the last command, I get the following error :
--- Error ----
gdImageStringFT: Could not find/open font while printing string Label Y with 
font Helvetica
gdImageStringFT: Could not find/open font while printing string Label X with 
font Helvetica
gdImageStringFT: Could not find/open font while printing string Title with 
font Helvetica
--- /Error ---

And the resulting image contains no title nor labels (but contains the textual 
legend !)

Regards, 

Didier Raboud
