I have revised the license to GPL v2 to simplify things.

My bad on the terminology for PCB, I'd seen it referred to as such amongst
geda PCB instructions somewhere, I thought. I have fixed that.

These fonts are a simple drop in replacement for default_font, which at
this stage lives in /geda/pcb/src
So, no UTF is needed.

In the absence of a mechanism for selecting fonts in PCB, the only idea I
had was a subdirectory in src named fonts

The utility is standalone, only uses stdio, and has an attached README.txt

users.on.net/~esh/geda/pcb/src/fonts/README.txt

for some reason the FTP server does not like listing README.txt or README
files.

The gothic and sans fonts use the normal ASCII/US keyboard mapping

The cyrillic font uses a keyboard mapping based on the Hershey fonts as
distributed.
There are four or more types of cyrillic keyboard mapping, so I have just
thrown in a glyph table to assist anyone
trying to use it.

This is my first bit of c code that does anything useful, so makefiles
might take a bit of time, but I'll give it a crack.

I will try and do a diff on on my local filesystem changes and submit it,
but it will be ~ 0.5MB.

Cheers,

Erich
