Hi all,
I am having some trouble with d.font and getting it to use fonts other than
the default options that are mentioned in the d.font manual
http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/d.font.html
http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/d.font.html .
What I have tried:
d.font font=romant #or other default font - italicc, gothgbt, etc
this works fine, but the font selection is a bit limited. So I wanted to
try using other fonts from the library.
d.font font=Tahoma #or Arial, Verdana, other options that are mentioned
in /Users/usr/Library/GRASS/6.4/Modules/etc/fontcap
this returns a long string of error messages:
The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality
safely. You MUST exec().
Break on
__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__()
to debug.

ERROR eof from graphics driver.
I also tried calling the fonts using the path to the ttf file in the main
computer font library
d.font font=/Users/usr/Library/Fonts/Tahoma.ttf #alternately, d.font
path=/Users/.../Tahoma.ttf, but same result
This returned the following error:
ERROR: Font name </Users/usr/Library/Fonts/Tahoma.ttf> is invalid. Check
font name or
consider running 'g.mkfontcap'
But it is the correct path to the ttf file. I did also try running
g.mkfontcap, but that did not seem to change anything.
Also, everything I tried with "d.font" I also tried with "d.font.freetype",
but returned same results.
