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.
