Version 1.6.8.2

Text creation from windows system font

Note: after installing a new font, GRBL-Plotter needs to be restarted, Otherwise, after selecting the newly installed font, an error message appears: "Only TrueType fonts are supported. This is not a TrueType font."

Bug fixes:

• SVG text import: process attribute "letter-spacing", set default for fill and stroke
• Process automation
• Set default for "Distance to be assumed as equal" to 0.001 to get hatch-fill with complex data to work.
