The internal font is hershey-based and coded in the executables, so
you'll need the sources to obtain it. The hershey vectors are generated
from a special eeschema library using some scripts (I don't know the
details).

If you just want to use the same vector font look in common/drawtxt.c,
it's not actually very difficult (it's a simple moveto/lineto sequence
of commands)

Have fun,
