  * milestone:  7.0.0 => 7.0.1


Comment:

 Seems that this happens even on systems where it was working previously.
 Now tested on MS Windows 8 with GRASS GIS 7.0.0 (standalone).

 Adding workaround to
 [http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_errors#Legend_or_scale_bar_does_not_show_any_text
 GRASS User Wiki]:

 If you add legend or scale bar to the Map Display and you see only the
 colors or the bar but not text, in the menu go to ''Settings'' >
 ''Preferences'', then select ''Map Display'' tab. Use ''Set font'' button
 to set ''Default font for GRASS displays''. From the list choose `arial`
 or another font you wish to use.

 ''BTW, there is no `7.0.0` Version in Trac. And also, is there some
 possibility to remove some `6.4.x` Versions, e.g. turn all *`RCs` into
 `releasebranch64`?''.
