.SH DESCRIPTION
\fId.font\fR allows the user to select use of a specific text font for
display 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 \fIromans\fR is used by default.
.PP
The user can run this program either non\-interactively or interactively.
If the user specifies a font type name on the command line the program will
run non\-interactively.
Alternately, the user can simply type \fBd.font\fR on the command line;
in this case, the program will prompt the user for a display
text font type.
