Comment 8 for bug 699460

Ineiev, thanks for your work on this!! I haven't tried it myself yet, but I earnestly look forward to using TrueType fonts on my PCBs!

I am currently exporting text from Inkscape and using pstoedit to convert to pcb format with DJ Delorie's polystitch plugin to fix holes in the polygons. This is a lot of work and is really painful when I want to change some text on the board. It's not practical for general text, only for a couple of text items per board. It's much more readable than the default PCB font, especially at small sizes... but it's much more attractive at all sizes.

I hope this patch can be rolled into mainline pcb soon!
