.SH DESCRIPTION
\fId.font\fR allows the user to select use of a specific text font for
display of text on the graphics monitor.
The GRASS program \fIshow.fonts.sh\fR is a UNIX Bourne shell macro which
names and displays the fonts that can be selected using \fId.font\fR.
If the user does not specify a font when using other GRASS programs
that display text, the font type \fIromans\fR is used by default.
.LP
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 \fBd.font\fR on the command 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 \fIparser\fR.
