25 d.font allows the user to select use of a specific text font for dis‐
26 play of text on the graphics monitor. The GRASS program show.fonts.sh
27 is a UNIX Bourne shell macro which names and displays the fonts that
28 can be selected using d.font. If the user does not specify a font when
29 using other GRASS programs that display text, the font type romans is
30 used by default.
31
32 The user can run this program either non-interactively or interac‐
33 tively. If the user specifies a font type name on the command line the
34 program will run non-interactively. Alternately, the user can simply
35 type d.font on the command line; in this case, the program will prompt
36 the user for a display text font type using the standard GRASS inter‐
37 face described in the manual entry for parser.
