       _d_._f_o_n_t allows the user to select use of a specific text font  for  dis-
       play  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 interac-
       tively.	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 command line; in this case, the program will	prompt
       the  user  for a display text font type using the standard GRASS inter-
       face described in the manual entry for _p_a_r_s_e_r.
