[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS-user] Freetype fonts in gis.m

[Michael Barton]

More generally, to make the d.* commands most efficiently useable from the
command line and for scripting, it makes sense to add a font= option to all
that need it. That is, d.legend by itself should be able to set which font
it uses. It can already set everything else except the font.
