If it's true type fonts you're after there is a TTF_DIR setting in
jpgraph.php that point s to a directory containing any fonts you may
wish to use.

If you're on Linux have you googled for msttcorefonts, I think they're
on sourceforge?

WILD GUESS

JPGraph just uses GD, right?

So the fonts available to GD are the fonts available to JPGraph, no?

See if you can find the six font files on your hard drive, and if that's
all there are in that directory, it could boil down to something as simple
as adding a bunch more font files in that directory.

'Course, the JPGraph guys may have hacked up something custom in the
source to limit you to six fonts...  You're on your own for that, but it's
Open Source, right?

Google for JPGraph and fonts and see who else has already solved this
problem and how.
