As far as I know, fonts aren't really fonts in the traditional sense in
KiCad. They are defined internally and drawn with segments. I never
could figure out why they look so poor when printing on Linux. They
print reasonably well on Windows. Given that their drawn the same way
on both platforms as opposed to using the native font rendering I would
expect the fonts to appear the same.
