When the font editor is started, it first creates a new board, then
loads/converts the font. This means if the user has replaced the font in a
pcb, the font editor will still edit the default font.


In mainline, the default font isn't hard coded, it resides in a file. And
the file that's used can be specified in the command line, so the user can
load pcb with whatever font they want to edit.

What's the intended method for saving the font to a file? Save the dummy
pcb, then cut it out with a text editor?


At the moment, yes. I'm planning to fix this in my font branch, but haven't
gotten around to it yet.
