fontcap seems to be the same. When I display legend, I get this in
terminal, am not sure if it was there before

In stackexchange I found a hint that this file might be needed (no idea
how to map that in Windows):
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
In Linux, it comes with the "fontconfig" package. In OSGeo4W, it should
also be there (please verify):

Some similar font related discussion here:
https://github.com/Shoes3/shoes3/issues/46
> {{{
> GRASS_INFO_WARNING(2248,1): Unable to open font map 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\GRASS GIS 7.1.svn/fonts/.hmp': No such file or directory.
> }}}
I see that \ and / are being used but especially, that the font name is
missing.
