The user can select the fonts for the different text objects with the Fonts panel in the preferences window.

OpenGL

Used to draw text in the graphical windows with OpenGL commands

Legend / Comments font: used to draw the legend and comments.
Labels: used to draw the nodal, elemental, results o minimum and maximum labels.
Graphs font: used to draw the labels on graphs.
Asian font: used to draw the text when special characters are detected, which requires special utf-8 codes.

Render mode: allows to enable or disable the smooth edge drawing.

In postprocess a new fonts management system has been implemented. Now GiD uses directly True Type Fonts (R) to draw text inside the postprocess graphical windows.
This allows to draw the characters with smoothed edges.

The True Type Fonts used in GiD are the free ones provided with GiD and the ones provided by the system: %WINDIR%\fonts in Microsoft Windows, and several directories in Linux (remember to install the true type fonts, or free type fonts from your favorite package administrator).

User interface
