Hi, I compiled the latest version of FreeCAD and OpenCASCADE on my machine (with NVidia 8600 195.36.15, Debian 5.0.6). The compile worked reasonable and FreeCAD starts, but when I try to model something, e.g. cut a sphere out of a cube or chamfer and fillet the cube the screen-output is rubbish.

(Apologies for top-posting) Postscript is passed to the standard input of the print command, which is run using popen(). It uses the default shell 'sh' to run the command. I think that the sort of behaviour you're looking for might be best achieved by writing some sort of wrapper program that

This is probably not something we'd commit as is to PCB, as for some cases, DRC warnings on the outline layer could be useful, but Bdale was looking for something along these lines on IRC yesterday. I'm not sure if I've caught all cases, but a simple test suggested it might have the desired
