Thanks. Testing is, as always, appreciated. The main known bug is some
issues with tab handling, but I'd love to hear if you see them too.

Hardcoded for now - as our postscript font details always were. The
postscript has always been "Helvetica". The on-screen renderer uses
"Arial", or "Helvetica", depending on the setting of an #if 0 or #if 1
in gschem/src/o_text.c

Arial and Helvertica are very similar fonts, with similar metrics. I
found Arial had better hinting though, so I've used that whilst testing.
