 fonts_ugly.png is the romans stroke font. It's the default because it's
 guaranteed to be available on all platforms (the stroke fonts are part of
 GRASS). There isn't any FreeType font which is guaranteed to be available
 on all platforms. GRASS may not even support FreeType fonts (it's a
 compile-time option).

 Users can change the default to something better, but we can't know which
 fonts (other than the stroke fonts) will be available on the user's
 system.
