- The first release of AutoCAD I used was R9 or R10.

- Later, I switched to AutoSketch R2.1 (win16).  This release of
   AutoSketch was probably the best 2D CAD I have ever used.

- Now, I use IntelliCAD.

- The CAD I really love the most was AutoSketch R2.1.
   Because it was a simple, easy to use 2D CAD, with similar tools
   as the tools in AutoCAD.

- Interesting.
   But, I was never really annoyed by that "bad font".

- Thank you for this font.

- Surprisingly, I am not able to see anything when opening this file
   with LibreCAD (blank window).
   When I open the same file with QCAD Professional, I can see the
   font.
   This lead me to think that there is a bug in LibreCAD, when
   editing .cxf file.  This is something to investigate.
