A great sage once said computers count: "zero", "one", "many". A large number of design descisions boil down to the same division. Currently RRD does "one". Tobias is talking about the many case. Conceivably the zero case might be useful alternative to the many case. If it was possible to do no labels on the graph and wrap the graph in reasonable HTML to do the labeling there might not be a need to support every font on the face of the earth.

Sans serif (Helvetica or Arial) and a choice of 2 or 3 point sizes and to bold or not would do it - with the idea of precise graphs in mind - I'm not after oodles of frilly fonts. Bet that doesn't make matters any simpler though.
