Good that you caught this, although I'm not sure what (if anything) to do about it. I matched the font heights as carefully as I could when making the transition (x1.3 factor), but inter-line spacing is left to pango (and the metrics of the font involved). I guess that doesn't quite stack up with the inter-line spacing gEDA used to use. Printing still uses the old code - so will show up the discrepancies until we nail out all the bugs in cairo printing. BTW.. my "cairo_experiment" branch does have a stab at cairo printing. It also allows you to "copy+paste" SVGs of your selected schematic area onto the clipboard. The only program I found so far which could paste SVG as vector graphics is Inkscape - and that only worked intermittently due to a bug in GTKMM!. Still.. an interesting demo which kept me amused for some time! I tried (and failed) to find a vector format OpenOffice could paste. Basically it will only accept its own format for vector drawing (even WMF/EMF paste an image when accepted via the clipboard). The converters I found to emit the required format were variously broken - mainly with text handling. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
