After adding the https://github.com/sagemath/cloud-examples.git repo to a
project (New.. -> Add from web) and then opening
cloud-templates/octave/octave-ipython.ipynb, in "In [6]:" after the 'plot'
command I get the following warnings:

warning: print.m: epstool binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.
warning: print.m: fig2dev binary is not available.
Some output formats are not available.

By the way, I got the same thing when on my local linux box I installed
octave from the repos (together with the octave-miscellaneous package that
has the 'publish' command) and then ran 'publish' on a script file
containing a plot. Installing the epstool and transfig (containing fig2dev)
packages solved it for me.

Hmm. Unfortunately, both the epstool and transfig Ubuntu packages are
installed already. Hmmm....?

Hmm. Ok. Could you check if you have the same warnings in that file then?

I Also have a load of ghostscript errors in In [7]: and In [8]: btw..

GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1

x16 in In [7]:
x24 in In [8]:
Interestingly there are also graphics displayed under the error and warning messages...

Edit:
...with awful-looking text and numbers. :)

The text and numbers look weird in http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/blink1073/oct2py/blob/master/example/octavemagic_extension.ipynb, too, so that's probably their doing. :) But at least they seem not to have the font problem.
