 Replying to [comment:29 annakrat]:
 > I can replicate the problem on windows 10 in virtual box. The
 run_gmkfontcap.bat seems to run during the installation and there are no
 erros in the terminal (I recorded a video to make sure I haven't missed
 anything). When I manually run the bat file with admin rights, I can see
 legend with text again.

 tested here now with

 WinGRASS-7.0.2svn-r66066-127-Setup.exe

 C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 7.0.2svn\etc\fontcap with following entries:

 and with

 run_gmkfontcap.bat works here on my side as expected, the fontcap file is
 updated.

 before you run the bat file with admin rights manually, can you check

 (1) if the fontcap file exists in C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 7.1.svn\etc\
 ?
 (2) if yes, what is the content of fontcap ? (just open the file in a text
 editor)
