DESCRIPTION

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.
