[GRASS-user] Freetype fonts in gis.m

[Patton, Eric]

My impetus for posting was that I missed the ability to label vectors with
nice fonts like arial or other custom fonts our carto guys have developed.
Do you think it would be reasonable to have an environmental variable to
handle the 'global' grass font? I would be nice to just throw a default font
into .grass.bashrc and forget about having to tweak fonts later.

I'd only put it at the startup/d.erase stage. If the user wants to call
something that changes the font, then let them have that control.
