Public bug reported:
Previously functional in Xenial on clean install, now broken on Focal
clean install.
Setting a label that includes the dollar sign char $, pyxplot fails with an
error about a font.
Any text is fine, only when using the $ does it fail.
set label 1 "\$" at 0,0 hal center
^this is the line in question.
If I change to
set label 1 "anything" at 0,0 hal center
this works fine.
Attaching tmp.plot (referenced below) for reproduction.
Repro steps using multipass on my machine.
First, xenial, working.
$ multipass launch xenial -n pyxplot-x ; multipass shell pyxplot-x
$ sudo apt update ; sudo apt -y dist-upgrade ; sudo apt -y install pyxplot
#I copy the file tmp.plot into home directory.
$ pyxplot -V tmp.plot > test.png ; ls -lh
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 11K Jan 6 14:46 test.png
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 237 Jan 6 14:46 tmp.plot
Second, focal, not working.
$ multipass launch focal -n pyxplot-f ; multipass shell pyxplot-f
$ sudo apt update ; sudo apt -y dist-upgrade ; sudo apt -y install pyxplot
#I copy the file tmp.plot into home directory.
$ pyxplot -V tmp.plot > test.png ; ls -lh

I have attempted to install further texlive libraries such as texlive-
full, cm-super[-x11]; all to no avail.

Hopefully this is enough to help get to the bottom of this.
