Ben,

I think the problem is that Octave shouldn't giving FreeType warnings
when using the gnuplot backend and FreeType isn't installed. This changeset

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2be9e22796d2

added the warning and frankly it should only be warning of the absence
of FreeType is the gnuplot backend isn't being used.
