I did a quick and dirty el-cheapo conversion of symbols/font/*.sym to
become monospace (same width each character).
It currently looks like http://mazzoo.de/geda/cheap_monospace.png and no
characters are centered yet.
As width I chose 32 units, however two chars were wider before.
The '@' was 36 units before, and the AE from AE-lig.sym (Æ if that UTF8
gets through) was even 39 units wide. Still I think both look OK in a 32
width style.
Is anyone interested in centered chars? I can do it then.

lets discuss the usefulness and sideeffects however
I had a strange observation with that AE-lig.sym:
I open AE-lig.sym in vim and copy'n paste that 'AE' char with the mouse
to the "Add Text" field in gschem, and can propperly add a single
character as seen on the above screenshot.
However when I put two of the 'AE' in the textbox and click apply I get:
(process:19901): Gtk-CRITICAL (recursed) **:
gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert: assertion `g_utf8_validate (text, len,
NULL)' failed
aborting...
Actually it crashes when I move the mouse over the edit-pane.
