[GRASSGUI] default font selection in wxgrass

[Michael Barton]

I?ve implemented a default font selection dialog in the development wxPython
GUI that builds a listbox from either stroke fonts or the truetype fonts in
freetypecap.

I added dfont and otf to acceptable extensions in mkftcap on my system and
it works well. Any reason not to commit this change?

The wxPython font selection dialog is also filtering fonts that have
duplicate face names. I?m getting a LOT of duplicates from multiple
directories. Any reason not to do this? Would it be better to do in the
script, or is it too difficult to do there?

Anyway, give it a try.

The ideal solution would be to force the names to be unique, but
that's quite hard to do in a shell script.
