[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52150] all plot functions throw errors when built with --without-fontconfig

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #52150 (project octave):

No, there's no problem with including a font file.

So would this be a new implementation of the text_renderer base class? When I
looked into this I saw that it's set up to allow different implementations but
uses freetype/fontconfig unconditionally for now.

If a font file were included that Octave could rely on unconditionally, would
this still require the freetype library?

If Octave is built without both fontconfig and freetype, should gnuplot be
disabled as well?

GNU FreeFont seems like an obvious choice.
