octave 3.01
But i need to back off. I tried exporting GNUPLOT_DEFAULT_GDFONT and it
worked. I am not sure what i did different before this.
But is there any way to set GNUPLOT_DEFAULT_GDFONT from within the script?
Straight from my script is the following:
system('export
GNUPLOT_DEFAULT_GDFONT=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Bold.ttf');
Why does that not work. Does the octave script open up its own shell?
thanks
