Follow-up Comment #10, bug #49216 (project octave):

Yes, the FONTCONFIG_PATH is an environment variable, use setenv/getenv in
Octave, or add to octave.bat where the PATH environment variable is normally
set before running Octave. I don't know if it needs to be set before Octave
starts or if it can be changed while running.

FONTCONFIG_PATH is not normally needed on a GNU distribution because the
fontconfig library is compiled to know where to look by default, but since the
Windows bundle is install-anywhere, it probably needs to be set, and maybe has
been overlooked until now, or maybe I'm completely wrong and it's not
necessary at all.

Note that it should point to the "etc/fonts" directory, which should contain
fonts.conf and conf.d. I don't know which direction it wants its directory
separators to lean in.

You can run "fc-match arial" or "fc-match Arial" and that should come back
with the actual Arial font name.

If you run "fc-match -s sans", it should list all possible fonts that are
installed and configured as "sans" font substitutions, in order of preference.
Then if you edit the file etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf, you should see the
order update. I *think* it takes effect immediately, but as we know file
timestamps tend to be a bit weird on Windows filesystems, may not work the way
I expect it to on Debian.
