Issues with plot

[awarmwalrus]

When I try to use plot in octave, I get the following output:

"warning: could not match any font: *-normal-normal-10
warning: ft_render: unable to load appropriate font
... (repeated roughly 100 times)
warning: could not match any font: *-normal-normal-10
warning: ft_render: unable to load appropriate font
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete
Aborted (core dumped)"

Then it quits octave and returns me back to the terminal.
I am using Cygwin on a Windows 8 system.
I am using octave 3.8.1.
It doesn't seem to be that I'm missing any fonts because I do have
etc/fonts.conf where it should be. But honestly I have no clue and it
doesn't seem like anybody else is having this specific problem. Most other
people who received the double warnings seemed to have additional errors and
path configuration errors that provided some information. Any help is
greatly appreciated, and, though I have done a lot of research already, I
hope that this hasn't already been brought up!

Thanks!
