In keeping with the monthly feature release schedule for pcb-rnd, on
April 1, 2017, the gEDA PCB fork pcb-rnd released new features
designed to enhance backwards compatibility, improve compliance with
ISO  3098, and anticipate future needs of users.

The ASCII character set has been ported from the ISO 3098 compatible
open font osifont to the new pcb-rnd polygonal glyph format, to allow
its use in PCB layouts.

This complements the existing stroked default font, as well as the
stroked Hershey Sans 1 Stroke Font, also available for use within
pcb-rnd.

The commitment to ongoing support for legacy users has been cemented
with the addition of a Runic font, believed to be popular among
Numenoreans who, it is thought, continue to use awk, C89, and at
times, scheme.

Looking forwards to future users, and in particular, the Treaty of
Organia in 2267, a Klingon pIqaD HaSta font has also been ported to
pcb-rnd.

pcb-rnd retains support for the traditional gEDA PCB font file format,
as well as the new, more fully featured lihata (.lht) file format
which supports lines, arcs and polygons within font glyphs.
