gd2 does not see fonts

Component: ports Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: gd2 font Cc:
Port: gd2

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

When I was using Port "gnuplot" to create some PNG and JPEG figures, which uses Port "gd2" for this, I was getting errors about the fonts not being found. A few lines of these errors are shown below. 

$ gnuplot gnuplot.commands
gdImageStringFT: Could not find/open font while printing string  0 with font arial
gdImageStringFT: Could not find/open font while printing string  10 with font arial
...

If this helps, the site ​http://www.groupsrv.com/computers/about265948.html mentions that GDFONTPATH may not be setup properly.

My environment:

  • MacBook Pro (1st gen)
  • Mac OS X 10.5.2 (fully up-to-date)
  • Xcode 3.0 (latest AFAIK without iPhone dev)
  • XQuartz 2.1.4 (latest)
  • Latest MacPorts & Ports

Sorry, I don't know what to do here. You may need to ask the developers of gnuplot and/or gd2 for assistance. Or you may just need to set the GDFONTPATH environment variable, as you already mentioned.
