Just like in pcb-rnd.

What I found confusing was this: you load a .pcb that has a specific font=
=20
(embedded in the .pcb file), and run FontEdit(); as an user I'd expect I=20
start editing the font I've last seen on screen. Instead, it loaded the=20
default font and started to edit that.

(Thanks; meanwhile fixed this in pcb-rnd trunk/, FontSave() now offers a=20
file selection dialog and saves the result in the specified file)
