gnuplot> show fontpath fontpath is system fontpath is "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" "/usr/lib/X11/fonts!" Probably even best when it would get it from fontconfig or something. Prefix paths should be in there at least.
I guess the important function is "static const struct path_table fontpath_tbl[]" in src/variable.c, line 256: http://gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnuplot/gnuplot/src/variable.c?view=markup this shows me that most likely kpsexpand gives the wrong path. Can you test that?
You mean this? 258 #ifdef HAVE_KPSEXPAND 259 /* teTeX or TeXLive */ 260 { "$`kpsexpand '$HOMETEXMF'`/fonts/type1!" }, 261 { "$`kpsexpand '$TEXMFLOCAL'`/fonts/type1!" }, 262 { "$`kpsexpand '$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/type1!" }, 263 { "$`kpsexpand '$TEXMFDIST'`/fonts/type1!" }, [tefnut:~] % kpsexpand '$HOMETEXMF' [tefnut:~] % kpsexpand '$TEXMFLOCAL' /Library/Gentoo/usr/local/share/texmf [tefnut:~] % kpsexpand '$TEXMFMAIN' /Library/Gentoo/usr/share/texmf [tefnut:~] % kpsexpand '$TEXMFDIST' /Library/Gentoo/usr/share/texmf-dist
Strange! But I think I was wrong kpsexpand is disable by default. So you can either add "--with-kpsexpand" to $myconf or prefix the paths in line 266 and 267: sed -e "s:/usr/X11R6:${EPREFIX}/usr/X11R6:" -i src/variable.c
Gentoo doesn't have lib/X11R6. The only dir which contains fonts (exists) is "$`kpsexpand '$TEXMFDIST'`/fonts/type1!". I'll try this kpsexpand configure option
It seems to actually do this because the latex USE-flag is not set, which makes sense. If I enable it, I get the texlive fonts that I was looking for. Thanks for your comments, I don't think there is much we can fix, just need to enable latex to get more fonts.
