Subject: [geda-help] [pcb-rnd] Multiple font support now avaliable.

Modifications to the pcb-rnd core, along with the new lihata (.lht)
file format, have allowed multiple font support to be implemented
relatively quickly.

Fonts used in a layout are saved in the lihata file format file, but
not if the layout is saved in the current gEDA PCB (.pcb) format.

If mainline PCB introduces the proposed Font() construct within the
.pcb file format, it could also be supported.

The multiple font support leverages previous work done converting
Hershey format fonts sourced from the open source and open hardware
EggBot platform.

Currently, to use a new font, it must be available for loading from
the local filesystem, after which a copy is stored within the layout
file
