Yes, I found it  - but the lines look so different to this I would expect.
The programs I got know yet makes lines which got a "normal" direction 
and only short 45° corners.
After mitering the 45° corners take a half of the length of the lines.
Is there a parameter, which define this relation?

I think it is gc-prevue under windows.
Do you think, it could depend on the viewer?
The other gerber-printouts without filled areas looks fine.
I've got the feeling, there are two problems with filling areas:
1st. Auto-router is not able to produce lines which clears polygons
2nd. a problem with the gerber-generator using filling areas?

But - it is the first time that I use this program and I'm still a 
newcomer using all this features of the program.
So, perhaps I'm the biggest bug in this case ;-)
