revision 40 fails to build png/eps pictures.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

mscgen from revision fails to builds graphs with type as "png" or "ismap";
giving the error:

Error: gdoTextHeight: Could not find/open font (GDFONTPATH=(null))

"svg" and "eps" images builds fine though.

I have tried to replace the value of the FONT macro in gd_out.c to a couple
of different fonts without luck. I cannot however figure out why it cannot
find these fonts.

On a related note, you may want to add "ifndef FONT", so it can be defined
from command-line (without it being redefined).

To get UTF8 support in PNG, I switched the trunk code to use the FreeType 
rendering.

This seems to cause some problems.  The first is that FontConfig needs to be 
setup to
correctly get fonts, or GDFONTPATH set to something.  Even if that is done, 
there
appears to be a bug in libgd whereby it can't use any fonts:

I'm thinking of pulling the FreeType text since it causes problems.  The 
downside is
that FreeType does provide support for UTF8 and anti-aliasing.
