pygmt.conf() can't find default for FONT
See original GitHub issueDescription of the problem
The code
with pygmt.clib.Session() as session:
session.call_module('gmtset', 'FONT 8p')
runs fine. But the equivalent pygmt.config() has trouble.
Full code that generated the error
pygmt.config(FONT='8p')
Full error message
pygmt-session [ERROR]: Syntax error: Unrecognized keyword FONT

I’m not very familiar with GMT’s settings, but looking at https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/gmt.conf.html#font-parameters, it says:
so I guess that means there’s no default? I think we’ll need to wrap the below code around a
try...exceptclause to handle these cases:https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/blob/5a5091e1d8e6cfb8cb3b4ab25eb5de0fd7049b2f/pygmt/modules.py#L166-L168
It’s a good solution for me. For
FONT, we probably have to maintain a list of FONT_* parameters.
