 so it seems in OSGeo4W-winGRASS there is a compilation computer leftover
 in the path.

 is your error in OSGeo4W-winGRASS or in standalone winGRASS?

 tested here with both:

 - standalone winGRASS: vector labelling with cairo driver works as the
 path to the bundled fonts is correct
 - OSGeo4W-winGRASS: vector labelling with cairo driver fails as the path
 to the bundled fonts is incorrect
