No.  But is it something we can fix in Octave?  I think it is just
that gnuplot on my system doesn't know where to find fonts.  I can
probably work around it by setting GDFONTPATH, but should every user
have to do that?  Especially on systems like Debian where there are
packages.  OTOH, running gnuplot and generating a png file with some
labels works when I don't explicitly set any font.  So if Octave's
default font is "*", can we just skip passing a font name to gnuplot?
Will that work?
