Embedded fonts

Embed the fonts that are used by the rendition in the output file so that they can be shown on systems where they are not installed.

TrueType as geometry

Render text that is drawn with TrueType fonts using polylines.

SHX text as geometry

Render text that is drawn with SHX fonts using polylines.

Enable simple geometry optimization
