The process is described at

http://vk5hse.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/geda-pcb-font-utilities-and-options.h=
tml

I wrote a utility a while back to create PCB compatible replacement
default_font files from centre line defined fonts after they had been
exported as a glyph table in inkscape and then processed by pstoedit.

The fontData array is derived from the default_font file

http://users.on.net/~esh/geda/pcb/src/fonts/HersheySans1StrokePCB_Font

which can be used as a drop in default font replacement for geda PCB.

I was thinking of adding the ability to render greek and cyrillic with the
FootprintTextForPCB utility as well with latex like directions, i.e.

java FootprintTextForPCB -t "ABCD \epsilon\gamma
\CYRP\cyro\cyrzh\cyra\cyrl\cyru\cyri\cyrc\cyrt\cyra""


I have already converted the hershey greek and cyrillic fonts, and would be
able to support them most easily this way, plus, I could add support for
subscript and superscript while I'm at it, as well as accents, without
getting in to the quagmire of all of the different cyrillic keyboard
encodings and internationalisation generally.

Also on the to do list is a PCB compatible version of osifont, a free cad
font, but hershey sans stroke looks pretty nice as a default font
replacement in pcb so I've not been too motivated to get onto it.

If you'd like cyrillic support, I can get onto it.

=E2=80=8BCheers,

Erich.
