Ben,

The error seems to be fixed in 3.3.92, when building as 32-bit. Note that it 
has appeared to be fixed in 64-bit (with blaswrap, without -ff2c) since 3.3.55 
or so.

I do get many lines of

warning: ft_render: unable to load appropriate font

when plotting, in both 32- and 64-bit. This didn't happen in <= 3.3.91.
