#3090: d.font does not change default font in monitors
------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  veroandreo  |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal      |  Milestone:  7.2.0
Component:  Display     |    Version:  unspecified
 Keywords:  d.font      |        CPU:  x86-64
 Platform:  Linux       |
------------------------+-------------------------
 d.font -l and d.fontlist give 439 possibilities for fonts. However,
 {{{
 d.font font="whatever_font_from_the_439_items_list"
 }}}
 does not change font setting in monitors, nor raise any error/warning. The
 only error appears when trying to set, for example, {{{font=romanp}}}
 which is indeed listed as option in d.font manual page
 (https://grass.osgeo.org/grass73/manuals/d.font.html).

 Whatever font I choose, monitors keep using default roman, which IMHO
 looks awful and makes that the output of d.text or d.vect.thematic, for
 example, look terrible, too.

 The only way I found to effectively change font for d.mon was with:
 {{{
 export GRASS_FONT="sans"
 }}}

 I use fedora 23, grass trunk r68780.
