try getting rid of the 'font standard'.
from the ps.map man page:
"""
font font name
The name of the PostScript font. Fonts
present in all PostScript implementations
are: Times-Roman, Times-Italic, Times-
Bold, Times-BoldItalic, Helvetica, Hel-
vetica-Oblique, Helvetica-Bold, Hel-
vetica-BoldOblique, Courier, Courier-
Oblique, Courier-Bold, and Courier-
BoldOblique.
The default is Helvetica.
"""
also try using "fontsize 12" or so, the default with v.labels
is to size the font by map units (to allow e.g. small towns to
dissapear as you zoom out), but if you mistake the size setting
for fontsize, you letters are e.g. 12m tall on a grid of many
kilometers..
does the same labels file work ok in an Xmon with 'd.labels'?
