Yes - at least that's my understanding from the geda web-site. It says:
gaf(1) is a multipurpose command line utility implementing
setting up the above programs, exporting schematics and symbols
into various formats, and shell for command line processing of
their data.
See also: http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gaf_utility
What I want to be able to do is to print schematics without needing X[11]
running. I was able to make this work for a while using a utility
that simulated the X environment - but this stopped working nearly a
year ago, and I haven't had the time to see if I could restore it
somehow. 'gaf' provides a mechanism for printing that does
not require X.
Thanks for your interest!

This rings a bell. I needed gaf (a separate utility with some new
graphic rendering features) for a project over a year ago [1], and it
only existed in geda-gaf 1.9.0 and later. This never seems to have got
near Debian, which has nothing later than 1.8.2, but I must have found
it somewhere.
It's quite odd, I really don't recall compiling it, but my binary files
seem to have no identification, are all dated 25th May 2013, and I can
find no trace of a downloaded .deb or similar. I have to conclude that I
did compile it, presumably from source straight from the geda site. The
binaries include gschem and gattrib, as well as gaf and the utilities
you list above and the complete symbol library.
There seems to be a few references to 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 packages, but
it all seems experimental so far. I think if gaf is needed, building
1.9.0 or 1.9.1 from source is still the only practical option.

Is 'gaf' meant to be a separate program? I'm running Debian Jessie and
seem to have all the utilities listed on
http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gaf
I have these geda packages installed
geda
geda-doc
geda-examples
geda-gattrib
geda-gnetlist
geda-gschem
geda-gsymcheck
geda-symbols
geda-utils
geda-xgsch2pcb
and "dpkg-query -L geda-utils" gives these
/usr/bin/sw2asc
/usr/bin/sarlacc_schem
/usr/bin/schdiff
/usr/bin/tragesym
/usr/bin/pads_backannotate
/usr/bin/olib
/usr/bin/convert_sym
/usr/bin/garchive
/usr/bin/gmk_sym
/usr/bin/grenum
/usr/bin/gsch2pcb
/usr/bin/sarlacc_sym
/usr/bin/gschlas
/usr/bin/gsymfix
/usr/bin/smash_megafile
/usr/bin/refdes_renum
/usr/bin/gxyrs
/usr/bin/pcb_backannotate
Which utilities specifically where you looking for?

Ok, I'm blind. I had missed the 'source' aspect, which now makes
sense. It's simply odd that the packages derived from geda-gaf do
not contain the gaf utility {none of the derived binary packages
seem to have it, not even geda-utils}.
Thanks Cindy and Brian!
