/usr/lib/X11/fonts /usr/share/X11/fonts /usr/share/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts ${HOME}/Library/Fonts /Library/Fonts /System/Library/Fonts ${WINDIR}/Fonts
These correspond to directories where fonts can be found on some common operating systems. Extra directories to search can easily by added using the extradirs parameter, which accepts a comma-separated list. An extra directory may optionally contain an environment variable at the start of the string, if enclosed in ${xxx} syntax (see examples above).
The module will normally write to the standard fontcap file location, $GISBASE/etc/fontcap. If the environment variable GRASS_FONT_CAP is set, the output will instead be written to the file specified by that variable. This is useful if you don't have permission to modify $GISBASE/etc/fontcap: in this case you can use e.g.
# use local file version instead of system copy GRASS_FONT_CAP=$HOME/.gfontcap export GRASS_FONT_CAP g.mkfontcap
to create a personal copy and then to make GRASS use that file instead of the system copy.
The output list of fonts is sorted first by type (Stroke fonts first, followed by Freetype) and within each type by the short name of the font.
Available at: g.mkfontcap source code (history)
