       _d_._f_o_n_t allows the user to select use of	a  specific  text
       font  for  display  of  text on the graphics monitor.  The
       GRASS program _s_h_o_w_._f_o_n_t_s_._s_h is a UNIX Bourne  shell  macro
       which  names  and  displays the fonts that can be selected
       using _d_._f_o_n_t.  If the user does not specify  a  font  when
       using  other  GRASS  programs  that display text, the font
       type _r_o_m_a_n_s 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 dd..ffoonntt on the com-
       mand line; in this case, the program will prompt the  user
       for  a  display	text  font  type using the standard GRASS
       interface described in the manual entry for _p_a_r_s_e_r.
