Yes -- I had only silk layer fonts in mind, and there different
appearance is not a big problem. Copper font must be fixed. For what do
we use copper fonts? I used the words "layer 0", "layer 1" ... only to
indicate correct orientation for the fab house.

But even fixed gerber fonts can be stored outside of the PCB file.
Store only version number of fixed font inside of PCB file?
