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.
