Hi Alan, Arjen Sorry I didn't send out an email. I got pulled away as I was making the commit. At that time I don't think Arjen had sent a message out about his testing - I've just caught up. In fact there was a Cmake issue fixed in my last commit so I am surprised the documentation would even attempt to build without that.
So I guess the answer is that tex does use fontconfig - or at least some brands of latex do. I imagine that the any version of the FreeFonts files will work so long as they are somewhere fontconfig can find them. If it is still of use I am using 64 bit Cygwin, reinstalled a couple of weeks ago, sorry don't have exact date handy an not on my computer. Arjen, were there any other packages needed in your case? If so and you want me to add them let me know. I will put a better source for the fonts in the instructions. Finally and off topic re top posting. Unfortunately I am often emailing using my phone (as I am now) so splitting the email is more than a bit difficult. In fact when emails get split it is often difficult for me to tell what is old and new material which is probably why I have missed details in the past. -----Original Message----- From: "Alan W.

After updating that I got error messages about some fonts - so that must be the same problem Phil reported. In my case, however, the Latex installation is not coming from Cygwin but from Windows. So installing these fonts will have to be done outside of Cygwin. Just to make this all a trifle more interesting, I suppose :). Actually, it should now be trivial since Phil has figured out how to specify Cygwin fonts in any location using the Cygwin pkgconfig package. See the updated (yet again) doc/docbook/README.developers file. Since you appeared to miss that commit, are you subscribed to the plplot git feed so you are receiving e-mail from what looks like our SF plplot git repository? That feed helps keep track of all git changes. See http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/b2f453344f15fb46400927262a5cd8b35b7acc6d/ that was mentioned as Phil's last git commit by the feed. Phil is the "strong silent" type; his commit message (virtually) says it all :-) Seriously there is a lot of value in that approach. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this issue out at one remove, and sent lots of e-mail with the possibilities. That turned out to be mostly a waste of my time since Phil just (mostly silently and probably without much help from my e-mails) went ahead and solved it directly. Impressive work, Phil, and except for one final terminating message, I hope to be silent now on this topic. :-) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
