DESCRIPTION

50       d.font  allows  the user to select use of a specific text font for dis‐
51       play of text on the graphics monitor.  If the user does not  specify  a
52       font  when  using other GRASS programs that display text, the font type
53       romans is used by default.
54
55       The user can run this  program  either  non-interactively  or  interac‐
56       tively.  If the user specifies a font type name on the command line the
57       program will run non-interactively.  Alternately, the user  can  simply
58       type  d.font on the command line; in this case, the program will prompt
59       the user for a display text font type.
