Description

Graphviz generates an error if it cannot locate a font using fontconfig:

$ dot -v -o test.png -T png test.dot
The plugin configuration file:
        /opt/local/lib/graphviz/config
                was successfully loaded.

Error: fontconfig: Didn't find expected font family. Perhaps URW Type 1 fonts need installing? : Times-Roman

In order to avoid this error, the urw-fonts must be installed. Graphviz will then use those font files.

This might be a bug with fontconfig not properly finding any of the other various Times fonts available on Mac OS X, but installing urw-fonts seems the easiest fix (other than manually changing the default font.)
