 In stackexchange I found a hint that this file might be needed (no idea
 how to map that in Windows):

 /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

 In Linux, it comes with the "fontconfig" package. In OSGeo4W, it should
 also be there (please verify):

 Some similar font related discussion here:

 https://github.com/Shoes3/shoes3/issues/46

 > {{{
 > GRASS_INFO_WARNING(2248,1): Unable to open font map 'C:\Program Files
 (x86)\GRASS GIS 7.1.svn/fonts/.hmp': No such file or directory.
 > }}}

 I see that \ and / are being used but especially, that the font name is
 missing.
