Re: [Gretl-users] Cannot Find Font Arial
Thanks for your response, but it hasn't helped. I didn't know that fonts
needed to be istalled, I never needed to install fonts before.
Anyway, I installed vera and it still didn't work. Gretl makes the
graph, it's in the temporary .gretl directory, it just isn't displayed.
I get the error message instead.
