Dear Maintainer,

After testing octave --gui on a fresh Debian installation, I noticed that
octave complains about being unable to load FreeSans OTF font when trying
to create a simple 2D plot. As a result, nothing is plotted. Installing
fonts-freefont-otf package resolved the problem.

>> x=1:10;
>> y=sin(x);
>> plot(x,y);
warning: ft_manager: unable to load font: 
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/freefont/FreeSans.otf
warning: called from
    axes at line 107 column 8
    newplot at line 165 column 10
    plot at line 228 column 9

warning: ft_text_renderer: unable to load appropriate font
warning: called from
    axes at line 107 column 8
    newplot at line 165 column 10
    plot at line 228 column 9
.....

Possibly, a depends or recomends is missing?
