John,

I just established what you must have already known.
Fedora systems need some other way of locating fonts.

I put the: file = "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf";

back in and now I get correct plots, with warnings like:
octave:3> plot([1:100])
octave:4> warning: could not match any font: *-normal-normal-12
plot([100:title("hello")
octave:5> warning: could not match any font: *-normal-normal-12
warning: could not match any font: *-normal-normal-12
warning: could not match any font: *-normal-normal-12
warning: could not match any font: *-normal-normal-12
=========================================
but, the plots are correct including title, etc.

Do you know a font wizard?  I will try to study this more, but
any help would be nice.  It must be that the search that is being
used does not include the standard ISO fonts, like:
38:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
122:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
426:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
432:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
644:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-100dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
844:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
1007:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
1035:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
1408:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-75dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
1500:xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-75dpi-7.2-8.fc11.noarch
==============================================
which are in most Fedora systems and many others.  Of course,
this could be a fontconfig problens, too.  But, definitely have
fontconfig installed.  And, other applications that need fonts
seem to find them.
