I'm pretty sure that this was discussed briefly, but cannot find it in the dev archives.
Sometime recently (past couple months), I've ended up without any default font for GRASS in versions I compile, and have to set a font before I have any text with barscales, legends, and the like. The new TrueType font capabilities are great and much nicer than the old default stroke fonts, but we should have *something* set as a default font when GRASS starts up. This is a problem on Mac and Windows builds but may not be showing up on Linux builds. I can build something into the GUI's to set a default font on startup. But it seems that this should be done in init.sh so as not to depend on the GUI and, IMHO, would be even better as a GRASS variable that lives in .grassrc6--so that whatever is set as a default font during a user session stays there into future sessions. In any case, we need something so that people don't fire up GRASS and wonder why legends have no text.
