Dj, I looked a lot at your files. The result is absolutelly awesome. I didnt understood what are those fat black lines around the design. Well, the output is nice for documentation. Maybe it is strange to you, because AFAIK you allways made your boards from the gerber files, but it is cheaper to me made my boards from the ps files because is cheaper to made the films in a print bureau that do not accept gerber files (actually they only accept .cdr files from CorelDraw, but Corel imports pcb .ps files nicelly). When I need more acurate boards I had to made the films in another print bureau that only accepts gerbers, but I dont know why when I have a line on the silk over a pad, those prints dont cut the lines out, maybe the gerber program is outdated. So, I have two reasons to prefer to made the films from ps files. Using an output like that you sended, I had to open it on ghostview, print in separate files as a ps file the layers I wich to made films (I cannot send the entire file and say "Please, print these, these and these pages" because they are so bonne head and will made films from the entire file). So, what I will say is not a must have, but is just a sugestion: to have an option on the print dialog, to print in one file or separate file (please, inside an directory), I think that is better to have more options. Anyway, the work you are doing is absolutelly awesome. I am just afraid about if the work you are doing in Lesstif will be usefull, because IMHO the Lesstif are tremendous ugly and outdated. But its just great.
