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.

       Parameter:

       font=name
           Name of a font type, from among the font types italicized below.
           Default: romans
