[gradsusr] Font variations from one Linux machine to another machine

[Matt Bunkers - NWS Rapid City]

I checked and all I have is "set font 0" or "set font 4", etc.  I also have
"set hershey off".

I'm not referencing outside fonts, so I suspect the new machine is missing
some fonts from the old machine.

Thanks for the fc-list command; I'll do some checking.
