[GRASS-dev] [bug #5489] (grass) d.font error in GRASS6.2/6.3

[Michael Barton]

Question to those who may know...

Is d.font simply unusable without an x11 display monitor? If so, I'll just
take it off the GUI menu. Or is the warning that you need to run d.mon
another example of an old (and a little misleading) message that is now
getting properly parsed and displayed in the output window?

I tried setting some fonts and I couldn't find any text affected. I checked
d.grid, d.histogram, and d.text.

I think I remember that the font setting doesn't persist or something like
that.
