Follow-up Comment #1:

This is done on the stable branch with

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/00d42b86d0a5

I've tested with and without this new options, and with and without fontconfig
and it seems to do the right thing.

Distributions that want to eliminate duplicate files should configure Octave
with something like


../configure \
  --with-system-freefont=/usr/share/fonts/opentype/freefont


Octave expects to find the files "FreeSans*.otf" in that directory.

and declare a dependency on the appropriate distribution font package.

This is only done as a fallback for a Fontconfig lookup failure.
