Comment(by snorfalorpagus):

 I have tried compiling with both --with-freetype and --without-freetype,
 but can see no difference (in cairo or PNG).

 Using the cairo display driver, text does not display on the scalebar or
 legend.
 Using the PNG display driver, text displays as expected.

 For both drivers, text in a text layer displays correctly (and smoothed –
 even in PNG).

 I've also noticed that I cannot get vector labels to display with either
 driver. Not sure if this is related.

 I have tried compiling against both the libraries provided by kyngchaos,
 and by those available through fink – no difference.

 I have also tried compiling grass7svn on my linux machine (2.6.36, gentoo,
 gnome). The same problem exists (screenshot attached as
 grass_text_bug_linux.png).

 In addition, I'm not convinced that ./configure is listening to the
 options I pass it (despite the summary it gives making sense). Even if I
 pass --without-tcltk I can still start the tcltk GUI. Same goes for the
 wxgui. Is this normal?
