 <p>The module will normally write to the standard fontcap file location,
 <tt>$GISBASE/etc/fontcap</tt>. If the environment variable
 <strong>GRASS_FONT_CAP</strong> is set, the output will instead be written 
-to the file specified by that variable.</p>
+to the file specified by that variable. This is useful if you don't have
+permission to modify <tt>$GISBASE/etc/fontcap</tt>, in this case you can
+use e.g.
 
+<div class="code"><pre>
+g.mkfontcap -s > $HOME/.gfontcap
+
+# use local file version instead of system copy
+GRASS_FONT_CAP=$HOME/.gfontcap
+export $GRASS_FONT_CAP
+</pre></div>
+
+to create a personal copy and then to make GRASS use that file
+instead of the system copy.

 <p>The output list of fonts is sorted first by type (Stroke fonts first,
 followed by Freetype) and within each type by the short name of the font.</p>
