Hi,

i'm tring to use

d.text  on grass-6.3.cvs  builded from source on a mac osx

i'm tring to use it as described inthe help menu, but it fail to load the font:

GRASS 6.3.cvs (wgs):~ > d.text << EOF
> .C yellow
> .S 4
> .B 1
> This is a test of d.text
> EOF
WARNING: unable to open font map
'/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/fonts/.hmp': No such
         file or directory
GRASS 6.3.cvs (wgs):~ >


while using a line like :

d.mon x0
d.text 'text=text to display' size=5 color=gray align=ll rotation=0 linespacing=1.25 path=/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/ fonts/italiccs.hmp

nothing is displayed.

i tried again using interactive place text flag :

d.text -m 'text=text to display' size=5 color=gray align=ll rotation=0 linespacing=1.25 font=italics path=/Applications/ GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/fonts/italiccs.hmp

but  while the menu :

Click!
Left:    Place text here
Right:   Quit

is corrected displayed,

in the window "Output - Gis.m"
i've the same message :

unable to open font map '/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/ fonts/.hmp': No such file or directory


seems that it do not use a "name" for the font, but only the extension is passed to the command.

i'm missing something,  like i need to set a font first ?

or it is a knowed problem?

instead of d.text, now i'm using d.text.freetype without problems (works really fine)
using as font the path to the x11 font (as described in the help).
