There have been a discussions of including free fonts as part of Octave as
support for the graphics backend. That would allow Octave to use a font as a
default and be sure it is present. (we occasionally get reports of bugs due to

I don't think any fonts have been bundled yet.
If anyone is inclined to work on that, it would be helpful.
