- I think the idea of Rallaz is good.
   Doing mix with already existing .cxf fonts to create AutoCAD like fonts
   like simplex, txt, etc., is a good way to make LibreCAD have fonts
   that match the .shx font used in AutoCAD.  This way original LibreCAD
   fonts will remain available to user that already use it.

- I done some tests, and it seems that LibreCAD behave strangely
   when using font added manually to its font directory.  It is like
   the added font is not seen by LibreCAD, when the drawing is re-opened.
   Also, LibreCAD seems to not be able to match font name like "simplex.shx"
   with its own font, and use this corresponding font.
   I think some improvement have to be done in this area.
