I find that I can select horizontal and vertical justification of Kicad text
but vertical justify don't accessible from GUI. Can I use vertical justify?

I think about this. But in the begining I'll try to use easy way: using
parametr 'extent' and calculate more pretty scale from PCAD to Kicad height
and width

&gt; PCAD stroke font isn't fixed width font and KiCad font too.  
&gt; I look for possible and try to solve this with more easy way

&gt; Eldar,  
&gt;  
&gt; Are you planning on actually determining the appropriate PCAD units for  
&gt; text so that this can be converted accurately? While you patch makes  
&gt; things better, I would prefer that we convert boards as accurately as  
&gt; possible. I know we don't handle different fonts but there should be no  
&gt; reason not to get the text position, height, and with correct.
