Is that the entire output from g.mkfontcap? Because I only see stroke
fonts there, which leads me to wonder whether g.mkfontcap (or GRASS
generally) was built without FreeType support.

Try {{{ ldd `which g.mkfontcap` }}}. Does it have a dependency upon
libfreetype?

Comment (by neteler):

Aarg, GRASS was built on that machine with --with-freetype=no , so no
surprise any more.

What about encapsulating the extradirs parameter with

#ifdef HAVE_FT2BUILD_H

or to print a related warning that no !FreeType support was compiled in?

One problem with conditional options is that the online manual should
ideally document all options, not just those which work in the specific
build of GRASS used to generate the documentation.

> or to print a related warning that no !FreeType support was compiled in?

A warning would probably be appropriate here.
