OK; I've added the following:

<h3>List of selected GRASS environment variables for direct rendering</h3>
<blockquote>
[ In addition to those which are understood by the
 <a href="pngdriver.html">PNG Driver</a>, the following variables
 affect direct rendering. ]
</blockquote>
<P></P>

<p>GRASS_FONT
<br>&nbsp; specifies the font as either the name of a stroke font in
$GISBASE/etc/fonts, the full path to a stroke font (which must begin
with $GISBASE/etc/fonts/), the name of a FreeType font from
$GISBASE/etc/freetypecap, or the full path to a FreeType font file.

<p>GRASS_FT_FONT
<br>&nbsp; specifies a FreeType font as a full path to the font file. 
If both GRASS_FONT and GRASS_FT_FONT are specified, GRASS_FT_FONT
takes precedence.

<p>GRASS_FT_ENCODING
<br>&nbsp; the encoding to be assumed for text which is drawn using a
freetype font; may be any encoding know to "iconv".
