But BEWARE... the ALF diodes have a different idea of anode and cathode
numbering to the geda-symbols shipped diode-1.sym and diode-2.sym!

If you use diode-3.sym in the schematics, all should be well - but make
sure you double check by showing the invisible text - or opening the
symbol (Hierarchy menu -> Down symbol) and checking the "pinnumber"
attributes on the pins as compared to the footprint you intend to use in
PCB.
