Follow-up Comment #2, bug #46447 (project octave):
Building the docs only affects developers, but the fact that Octave crashes
when trying to create a figure affects normal users.
Checking font->get_face () is non-NULL before dereferencing it is basic
defensive programming. With that fixed, the build fails because the image
files don't get created, but at least Octave doesn't crash.
I can happily submit a patch that stops Octave crashing, but I think the
cleaner approach is to disable native graphics (as configure says will happen,
but seems not to) if the necessary libraries aren't found.
