.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.
