Re: qt: available fonts

[Clinton Winant]

octave4.0.3 on ubuntu 16.04

Sorry I wasn't asking about the fonts used by Octave GUI, I was asking about the fonts available for plotting, as in eg

text(x,y,'blah-blah','fontname','????')

The only one I know that works is 'Times New Roman'

When submitting a question, please write 
1. octave version
2. platform and its version (e,g, windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04)
 
Octave GUI uses fontconfig  for font handling.

If you are using octave on linux, execute from terminal

$ fc-list 
To redirect to file
$ fc-list > list.txt

On windows, execute octave
>> system ('fc-list > list.txt ')

Note that list.txt is utf-8 encoded.
