Sorry, meant to reply to this earlier. The usual solution for this is to 
run:
g.mkfontcap -o
to re-generate the font file.

Did you compile GRASS yourself? Were the compiled binaries moved to some 
other location in the filesystem without running "make install" - if so, 
the locations of the GRASS built-in fonts in the fontcap file would be 
wrong and it needs to be regenerated.
