Tried it, and prefer the original. The weight of the ends of the glyph stroke seem wrong, and need shortening. I tried this and realised the whole glyph is just too wide, and is out of proportion. I came up with this: Symbol('s' 8) ( SymbolLine(2 50 18 50 8) SymbolLine(18 50 23 45 8) SymbolLine(18 40 23 45 8) SymbolLine(5 40 18 40 8) SymbolLine(0 35 5 40 8) SymbolLine(0 35 5 30 8) SymbolLine(5 30 21 30 8) ) It still isn't perfect by any means, and I would be tempted to re-introduce the inflections on the end of the stroke which your glyph removed. (Keeping them small though). To make gsch2pcb pick it up, you would need to adjust the template file in $PREFIX/share/gEDA/scheme/gnet-gsch2pcb.scm (OR change PCB's default font file). The gsch2pcb template is currently based on a VERY old PCB file format, and would need updating. Once you've done that, you can include the font block from a more modern PCB file, but you will have to define every glyph. The future is not using gsch2pcb to make a PCB file directly of course, DJ has been working on a better import mechanism, which we should teach gsch2pcb to make use of. (Which would then make PCB create the file). In this idealised version of the future, the only immediate way you would have to override the font is to edit PCB's default font, $PREFIX/share/pcb/default_font -- 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!)
