Yes, that would be nice to have pretty fonts on the layout, and also
arbitrary bitmap. To be honest, I don't know how to implement that when it
comes to gerber output.
Maybe with one of these?

</div></div>Seconded, but I have 2 questions:<br>
<br>
Is is possible to guarantee a minimal set of available fonts on any system?=
<br>
(Honestly I have no idea, I use TeX, never MSOffice or LibreOffice for<br>
writing documents).<br>
<br>
A good library to transform UTF8 8 to vector/polygons that can be used<br>
for Gerber/gcode?<br>
(Maybe related to the first)<br>
