In gnuplot when I try "set terminal png" I get that "no Arial font" message. It seems that our version of gnuplot was built with a default font that there is no access to. No matter, I would be pleased with one we do have, but...
I am thoroughly puzzled by my failed 2 internal and 1 external remedies on this Solaris 8 sparc. I like lucida bright as a font and have concentrated on trying to get that font accepted. Many variants on the lucida bright name are to be found by "find /usr -name '*ucida*'" and by "xlsfonts | grep ucida" 1) For example I tried set fontpath "/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/" followed by various spellings lucida bright in set terminal png font lucidabright None of which worked; all giving me an error like "Cant find/open font" or sometimes "invalid color spec, must be xRRGGBB" 2) There was mention of setting the environment variable GDFONTPATH so I tried various directories with setenv GDFONTPATH /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/ Followed by my variations on set terminal png font lucidabright Only to get identical errors message as above. 3) When I did xlsfonts -ll lucidabright I got tons of information, but not even a hint of a thing that might be called "a font path" which leads me to think I have got this all wrong somehow. Can anyone either explain what I got wrong, or point me to a source where I can read further?
