Details:

Sorry for the re-post - this issue is crashing all my programs and I can't
really get anywhere.

I am seeing the same thing with mxe-octave 4.0rc4 compiled on linux: a lot of
ft_render warnings then a segfault with

imagesc(randn(10))
title('test')

I understand I need to install a font... please can someone tell me how to do
that? Thanks.

>> imagesc(randn(10));

warning: ft_render: invalid bounding box, cannot render
warning: called from
axes at line 66 column 10
gca at line 58 column 9
newplot at line 148 column 8
imagesc at line 91 column 11
warning: ft_render: invalid bounding box, cannot render
warning: ft_render: invalid bounding box, cannot render
warning: ft_render: invalid bounding box, cannot render
warning:.....

>> title('test')


At this point octave disappears and leaves a message on the commandline:
octave exited with signal 11.
