The "fixedsys.ttf" font file does not have a clear license, seems a very old font that got some used by microsoft at some point.
But I couldn't find details on allowed uses, redistribution, derivatives, etc.
As such, it is unsuitable for use in a GPL licensed project.
It also complicates packaging.
This font is never used in the code though, as the C++ classes that reference it are defined but never used.
So I replaced it with the monospaced font provided by VCV Rack, just so it still works in case these classes are later on used in some new modules.
