Glynn, is there a reason to wipe the font out in D_clear_window()? I would set if for the entire session (or longer) (otherwise use d.font again). If it is due to technical constraints, should I modify the d.redraw/d.out.* to first grab the font setting and then restore it after d.erase? I would like to avoid that I have to hack a couple of GRASS scripts locally to keep the font setting in the monitor.
