| I reproduced this bug, here is my code:
| octave:151> xlabel('omega','FontName','Arial')
| octave:152> print -dpng sinc1.png
| gdImageStringFT: Could not find/open font while printing string omega with
| font arial
| 
| and then:
| octave:156>
| xlabel('\omega','FontName','/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf')
| octave:157> print -dpng sinc1.png
| *** stack smashing detected ***: gnuplot terminated

| Full output:
| *** stack smashing detected ***: gnuplot terminated

This appears to be a crash fo gnpulot, not Octave, so the bug should
be fixed in gnuplot.
