	Hmmm, yeah, I had to do that to get the fonts to match the
postscript output.  Even then, I did not implement kerning, so some
char combos are way off, but hey, it's close enough for most people.
Out of curiosity, when you print your text to a postscript file, do
things line up?

	I suppose I could provide a fixed width font, but I don't know
what that will look like in a gEDA/gaf schematic.

	Hmmm.. Simple solution probably would be to set tabs to be 4
characters.  Ouch, but that will confuse people.  I knew there was a 
real reason I never implemented tabs. <g> :->
