Are you specifying a font path?  I have tried the way you suggest.  I
get my label to print, but it's using the default GD font (gdTiny). If I
set the point size, nothing happens.  I can also set the 'Arial' to '',
and same results.

I'm running on XP.

I'm not sure, but all I ever specify is the font name, not the
font file, and it works for me:
$graph->set_x_label_font('Arial', 10);
