Also after full recompile, nothing yet. I am working on 64bit boxes
(RHEL4 and Mandriva2007.1).

Ah, found it through re-debugging!

static void read_freetype_fonts(int verbose)
{
        char **list;
        int count;
        int i;
    
        R__open_quiet();
        if (R_open_driver() != 0)
                return;

If the GRASS monitor isn't open, it silently exits at R_open_driver().
Maybe it should say that a monitor must be open (would be nice of course
to get it working also without monitor, but probably not possible?).
