I have problems with font

Hi Bae,
    GrADS looks for font files in a directory which is pointed by the
environment variable GADDIR. Therefore, (if you've not done so yet)
please download the file data.tar.Z from
http://grads.iges.org/grads/downloads.html and uncompress-untar the file
to a directory of your convenience.  If this directory is
/where/font/files/reside then you need to set the environment variable
GADDIR pointing to this directory:
setenv GADDIR /where/font/files/reside  # for csh
export GADDIR=/where/font/files/reside # for bash

Make sure that every user who intend to use GrADS has read permission to
these files. Open GrADS in a shell which knows this new GADDIR path and
you are all set.

regards,

arindam
