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