Details:

Given the following snippet, the generated pdf doesn't use Nimbus Sans font
properly. I have it installed, and fc-match 'Nimbus Sans' returns
`NimbusSans-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Sans" "Regular"`. Free Helvetian, another
font installed on my system, seems to work fine. Both plots are attached.


set (0, "defaultaxesfontsize", 12)
set (0, "defaulttextfontsize", 12)

% set (0, "defaultaxesfontname", "Free Helvetian") % works
% set (0, "defaulttextfontname", "Free Helvetian")

set (0, "defaultaxesfontname", "Nimbus Sans")
set (0, "defaulttextfontname", "Nimbus Sans")

plot(1:10)
title('longer title seen')
xlabel('complexity')
ylabel('performance (higher is better)')

set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [0 0 8 6]);
set(gcf, 'PaperSize', [8 6]);
print(1, "test.pdf", '-dpdf')


ENV:
OS: Debian Bullseyee 11
gnuplot: 5.2 patchlevel 8
