<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Perhaps this is a silly question, but is there any way to use system fonts in GRASS. Currently, we either need to use a stroke font (the default, ugly) or specify a path to a Truetype font.<BR>
<BR>
It is quite easy to get system font information (family, name, style, size, color, etc) from a standard system font dialog in wxPython (and in TclTk too). Is there some way to pass that information to GRASS so that it will be the display font. Or could there be a flag/GRASS environmental variable, to make the default system font the default GRASS font? Then the default could be changed as desired. Imagine Helvetica/Lucida Grand/Arial as the default font for legends, bar scales, and the like...<BR>
