GraphViz considers this hack a bug. What they do is try to "play
fontconfig" for certain font names such as Helvetica or Times-Roman. You
can use any fonts you have, including URW, with the hack disabled, as
long as fontconfig can find them. The question is more specific: do you
think that you might need a GraphViz build with variable
NO_POSTSCRIPT_ALIAS *undefined* and therefore, with the font name
aliasing enabled?

Sergey.
