I've fixed that now (since last week). There is a file fonts.table 
installed into $GISBASE/etc/fonts that contains all the names (actually I 
got them from the d.font man page!). The names in this file are picked up 
by g.mkfontcap when scanning for stroke fonts.

There's show.fonts.sh but it would be better to parse the output of
d.font -L. I'll look at it if I get time.
