It is an option in the 'common' plot library, the DXF plot engine can
happily do whatever you ask it to (actually even PS/PDF can use text
entities). I don't know how the vector font interact since I'm using
a patched (i.e. another font :D) version of it. Feel free to ask me for
anything about the plotting code.
There is another issue for DXF containing non-ascii characters: only
from IIRC R15 (i.e. AutoCAD 2000) they can contain unicode stuff; the
previous alternatives were custom font-encoding (typical for cyrillic)
or bigfont (100% proprietary autodesk solution).
So another thing which would be interesting is the program which he's
using for loading it.
