Plot font problem

Not on my system - thats why I included the ls of the fonts directory!
However, I fixed it by putting

export GDFONTPATH="/usr/share/fonts/msttcore"

in my .bashrc

It would probably be a good idea to make it default to an available
font if the one it wants to use isn't available - or people may
continue using Matlab!
