- In October 2011, I filled a feature request in the LibreCAD
  tracker (@Sourceforge).  See below:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3420626&group_id=342582&atid=1433847

- As mentioned in the above feature request; in LibreCAD, all
  text entities appear the same as what is known as "MTEXT" entity
  in AutoCAD world.
  That's it...  In LibreCAD, there is no equivalent of what it
  is known as "TEXT" entities in AutoCAD world.

- Remark: As you may already know, "MTEXT" stand for "Multi-line Text",
  and can be edited the same way as in a standard text editor.

- So, from my (old AutoCAD user) point of view, the improvement
  to do in LibreCAD, is not to add "MTEXT" support, but is
  to do the following task:

        - Make LibreCAD support not only "MTEXT" entities, but
          also support "TEXT" entities.

- Supporting both "MTEXT" entities and "TEXT" entities
  imply that these entities are also supported in the
  DXF library.
  I suggest you to consult Rallaz, to have details about that.
