I am using grass6.4.2svn on an ubuntu laptop and I would like to use a different font - DejaVuSansMono-Bold.
I have tried: grass.run_command('d.text',flags='s' ,at='15,80',size='18', text='testings', path='/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf')
without errors, but no text.....
When I try: g.mkfontcap -o extradirs='/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/'
I get :
WARNING: This GRASS installation was compiled without Freetype support,
extradirs parameter ignored
When I compile I have: --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2
And for me it seems to compile wtih Freetype support.

What do I do wrong?
I don't have an exact answer to your question, but I would suggest to
run 'd.font -l' (or -L) and check if it is already there, then
in an Xmonitor try 'd.font DejaVuSansMono-Bold' before running
d.text (without path= or font=).
I don't think extrafont= is needed for that standard font dir, maybe try
g.mkfontcap without it?
Also [fwiw in my personal preference] the Vera font does a nicer job than
the almost-the-same DejaView, especially for numbers. I don't know why
Ubuntu dropped it but you can install the .deb from Debian and it all
works fine.

First, ensure that you don't have multiple versions of GRASS. Second,
run "make clean" whenever you run the configure script.
