Extra text upon opening DXF file

When I open a DXF file, I get extra text at the beginning of every text string.  The extra text appears to be the font type and other information related to the text string

These are text style information (rich codes) which are embedded in the text itself.
LibreCAD does not support them. As the codes are part of the regular text, they are shown in LibreCAD.

See GitHub issue #1286 for further explanation and links.

Should we support this one?

Support doesn't make much sense imho, as we can't show the TTF fonts.
But probably we can detect rich code sequences and hide or remove them.

If there is a standard of those sequence, we can ignore and write a warning message in cmd. Of course, we don't overwhelm the cmd with repeated messages.
