Attempting to set display font in preferences generates an error in GRASS
7.0.4 and above. This may or may not be limited to the Mac.

Comment (by cmbarton):
More information.
I removed the ~.grass7/wx file to force GRASS to rebuild it. This does
happen if save is pressed from preferences.
If I go to preferences and select either display or command console font,
I get a Mac-specific dialog to select fonts. But I cannot close the dialog
to save the font. I can only crash the GUI to get out of this. After that,
I was able to get the standard GRASS font dialog for display font and
select a standard font (Helvetica in this case). But that font is not used
in the display--only the old GRASS default font. I can even see
"Helvetica" in the wx file and it seems OK. But it is not recognized.
I have not been able to even get to the standard GRASS font selection for
the console font. Trying to select it only gives the 3 column Mac font
selector that does not work in this environment (which is why we had to
build the existing font dialog).
This is a pretty serious bug for the display. I don't know exactly when it
was introduced, but it is fairly recent since I've been making maps
periodically this year with no problem.

Comment (by cmbarton):
Final thought for now. I think that pressing the "font" button for
preferences/appearance (and sometimes for preferences/display) now
launches what is supposed to be a wxPython font dialog. This has long been
known to be buggy in wxPython 2.x on some systems, including the Mac. At
least conditionally for the Mac, the font setting still needs to be done
using the simpler, custom built font selection dialog.

I just compiled GRASS trunk (7.3) and tested. There does not seem to be
any change in the preferences behavior. Map Display font button opens
custom font selection list and Appearance font button opens wxPython font
manager (and locks up GUI). Am I testing the wrong code base?

The display font was not working, as you reported. As for the other font,
I assume you have wxPython 2.8 and I think I limited the changes to
wxPython 3, because I forgot it's problem in 2.8 as well, I will change
it.

Here are 2 wxWidget tickets for the problem. One suggests a possible
workaround and the other suggests it may be fixed in the next version of
wxPython.
