Can't help you any further, then, sorry. Installing one or more fonts
such that fc-list showed something fixed the problem I had.

I am able to build on Ubuntu 12.04 from a clean hg clone without error.
Maybe try `sudo apt-get build-dep octave` just to ensure you installed
all of the build-dependencies?

Not sure about this. If gnuplot isn't installed, make should not even
attempt to build the doc directory.

I was curious, so I tried this and confirmed that no gnuplot means that
doc isn't built, and make does complete without an error for me.
