- Just copying fonts to create another fonts can be a solution to make
   LibreCAD looks like supporting all current DXF fonts.
   This way, there is no font filtering to do at all, and text font
   information are preserved in the DXF file, instead of being changed
   to another "equivalent" font.

- However, if doing things that way, it will be better to take notes of
   all these cloned fonts, to know which fonts are cloned font, and must
   be patched later.
