Uh, I would just delete it and resave the footprint file.  This is 
someone's 'heavy' footprint--something that I don't think makes sense 
for transistors.

Open your pcb file in a text editor and find and replace that garbage 
all at once.

I know it's probably not the best way to work, but I'm more in favor of 
using symbols in gschem that have the internal pinouts (dgs, gds, ebc, 
etc).  If you do this, there's no need to have any kind of GDS in the 
footprint itself.

Sorry to hear you're running into snags.  Keep in touch.

Best, Phil
