Importing DXF curves

In another post where someone was bashing Blender, someone mentioned that they have been able to import DXF curves. I am not having so much luck. I would like to be able to import 2d profiles. Are there specific guidelines I should be following?

Blender can only import meshes, no curves (I wish…).

DXF is one of the few formats tha blender actually supports natively (without a script)

Just open it in the normal F1 menu
