 Further efforts on this issue are at
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.graphviz/8207/focus=8209
 
 That thread looks toward a fontconfig (mis) configuration... while
 that discussion is accessing Helvetica fonts, the bigger problem is no
 true type fonts at all, in graphviz.
 
 In the past, true type fonts just worked when graphviz was compiled from 
pkgsrc.
 
 It may have succeeded by using tex-latex-bin dependencies that are not
 properly resolved today. For example I see "The bundle is part of the
 LaTeX `required' set of packages." in the tex-psnfss package
 description, though it doesn't get picked up as a dependency of
 tex-latex-bin.
