[GRASS-dev] updated default font selection in TclTk gui

I updated the font selection dialog in the TclTk gui to work like the one in the development wxPython gui. It now uses d.font –l to create a font list, which is displayed for selection in a listbox widget.

Nice. Works well and simpler to use.

font=FreeSans + d.grid is very nice in the GUI where it is anti-aliased,
but not in a xmon where it isn't.

Thanks. Glad it works. I like the simplicity too. Thanks for suggesting the
d.font -l idea. No need to decide a priori if you want stroke fonts or
TrueType, or pick a directory to select from.
