Definitely the missing font. On some Linux distributions, the font is in a 
separate package to the rrdtool library, and the package shipping the font is 
not required by the library package (e.g. librrdtool), and fixing this is as 
simple as installing the package that provides the font (e.g. rrdtool).

Some info on what distro you are using, and/or how you installed rrdtool (and 
Hobbit for that matter) may get a quicker solution.
