perhaps add a script to the GUI Config menu to search the system for
.ttf fonts and dump to a .grass fontcap file?

eg for {`uname -s` = "Darwin"} look in wherever Mac dumps fonts, for
Windows use a .bat file that looks in C:\Windows\fonts\*.ttf (or
wherever), and for Linux /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/* or other common
dumping grounds.

if any files are on that list you get an easy picker, if not you can
always select the <file broswer>.
