Curious about alternative fonts in PCB, I looked at the default_font (and apparently only font) in PCB. It is located (in my installation) at /usr/share/pcb/default_font 

The font is composed of line drawing commands. For example, the letter "A" is:

Symbol('A' 12)
(
SymbolLine(0 5 0 40 8)
SymbolLine(0 5 5 0 8)
SymbolLine(5 0 20 0 8)
SymbolLine(20 0 25 5 8)
SymbolLine(25 5 25 40 8)
SymbolLine(0 20 25 20 8)
)

Do any other fonts exist? If so, where are they and how to you install/name them in, I assume the same directory as the default_font file.
