Comment:

 May I request reviewing anothe patch against current port,
 [http://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/26897/gd2.diff gd2.diff]? It
 is an upstream patch that helps with the following problem in gnuplot:

 {{{
 > set term png
 Terminal type set to 'png'
 Could not find/open font when opening font "arial", using internal non-
 scalable font
 Options are 'nocrop medium size 640,480 '
 }}}

 which I think was exactly the problem reported here (if I'm wrong, please
 excuse me).

 Gnuplot also needs a tiny patch in addition to this to actually resolve
 the problem, but fixing gd is a prerequisite for a patch in gnuplot.

 PS: I'm not sure if it is polite to add stuff to old & closed tickets (if
 it was not appropriate this time, let me know, I'll open a new report next
 time), but it was most likely about exactly the same issue which is still
 present for me.
 PPS: current port has wrong line numbers anyway:
