Already seen in FS#63

    * Rectangles can have rounded corners
    * Polygons have last point connected to first

circle = disc
ellipse = disc + scale
polygon = polygon !
rect = flat box, but rounded corners would be a bonus
line = flat box + rotate, but need a pen size!
polyline = sequence of flat box & connecting disc, also need a pen size

Spline! (and it will suck for circular & elliptic arcs)
and you will need a text processing to load the fonts, split each letter
apart and put them along the spline.
