So it is a progecad error, full version and lt version of latest
releases have same error. Maybe upcoming release of Progecad will fix
it. Software that generates the dxf uses ttf fonts only, but ex****ts shx
type fonts for compatibility with older versions of cad that may not
work with ttf. It keeps the label of the font so that you can select by
font or use a template or font translation table.
