You can change fonts globally in the GIS Manager TclTk GUI in the
'configure' menu. You can also change fonts for various layers with text
(e.g., text, legend, grid) with font buttons in their layer properties
panels.

However, the GUI does not use x monitors (d.mon) and these methods do not
affect anything displayed in an x monitor. You'll to use individual GRASS
module commands (e.g., d.font) to control fonts in that environment.
