I'm not sure, but once I read, that someone wrote about
implementation hungarian (and other ISO8859-2) specific letters in
GRASS. The problem was resolved at about 2 years ago. It is possible
to use those letters in GRASS monitor and with printer commands. The
GRASS polish fonts are from 2 years available, and (after some
letters) now I've decided to create the GRASS fonts with all ISO8859-2
fonts and HOWTO. I suppose, they will be ready to use at the end of
may. I've created tools (http://wgug.meteo.uni.wroc.pl/ - link
"pliki" - take three last files and unpack - documentation is in
english & pilish language. With these tools you can very easy
create/modify GRASS fonts.
You can probably just use d.text.freetype to display most (but not yet all)
TrueType fonts on your system.

However, it has to have been built with iconv support in order to
display anything other than ISO-8859-1.
Also, that doesn't help for programs which use the GRASS stroke fonts
(e.g. d.legend).
