 in the GUI options there are 2 tabs where you can choose fonts:

 (1) fonts in command output
 (2) fonts for map display

 in (1) there is a nice dialog, for (2) the dialogue is rudimentary (see
 screenshot attached).

 fontcap file content:

 {{{
 [...]
 cordiaub|CordiaUPC Bold|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\cordiaub.ttf|0|utf-8|
 cordiaui|CordiaUPC Italic|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\cordiaui.ttf|0|utf-8|
 cordiauz|CordiaUPC Bold Italic|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\cordiauz.ttf|0|utf-8|
 cordiaz|Cordia New Bold Italic|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\cordiaz.ttf|0|utf-8|
 cour|Courier New Regular|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\cour.ttf|0|utf-8|
 courbd|Courier New Bold|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\courbd.ttf|0|utf-8|
 courbi|Courier New Bold Italic|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\courbi.ttf|0|utf-8|
 couri|Courier New Italic|1|C:\Windows\Fonts\couri.ttf|0|utf-8|
 [...]
 }}}

 in (2) only the font acronym is displayed.

 maybe the nice dialog of (1) could be added to (2)?

 maybe it's also possible to add a font selection dialog to e.g. the d.vect
 font=string option?
