Long before AutoCAD supported Truetype fonts and since AutoCAD SHX fonts can only have lines a arcs, we created "filled" fonts using a series of vertical lines. As long as the pen width assigned to the text was wide enough, they plotted completely filled. But were a regen hog back in the day. With more modern computers, it's not a problem. I'd like to see what LibreCAD would do with one of those.
