Yes, look for (line-style "Thick") in the system-rc files.

That can be done, but I had believed that the text size was in 'points' from 
the data structures.  The trouble is that the Helvetica font that is being 
used to print the schematics does not have the same font metrics as the 
stroked vector font.  If you change the output font for another font, the 
scaling factor that we have chosen for the Helvetica is unlikely to be 
the 'right' scale factor for the new font.  This probably needs to be a user 
tunable parameter too.

Ales, can I go ahead and add this? At the same time, I will add a command 
that allows the name of the font to be changed.

Can you elaborate?
