#1661 — no rotated 'J' in pngcairo terminal with font "Arial, 10"

The capital letter J is only drawn half in the pngcairo terminal with font 
"Arial, 10"

Only in rotated text. Gnuplot 4.6.0 Win 32 compile

Reproduce this as follows:


++++++++++++
set ylabel 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmopqrstuvwxyz'
set xlabel 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmopqrstuvwxyz'

set out 'tst.png'
set term pngcairo size 640, 480 font "Arial, 10"
plot x
set out
++++++++++++

I know the Courier font does produce the rotated 'J'

Gnuplot does not do its own font handling, so whatever the problem is
must lie in some external library or file.  In this case I guess that
would be libpango, but I suppose it's possible that the font file
itself has become corrupted.  I do not see this problem when running
the Win 32 binary under wine on a linux system, which confirms that
the problem is not in the gnuplot binary.
