DESCRIPTION¶
d.font 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
romans is
used by default.
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
d.font on the
command line; in this case, the program will prompt the user for a display
text font type.
