Re: gEDA-user: G in PCB

[Xtian Xultz <xultz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some time ago I was looking to the PCB letter fonts, to me they are very ugly, 
but I noted that they are made by 45 degrees lines only. I started a new set 
of letters made by non 45 degrees lines, based on the Helvetica font, but I 
didnt finished because I became in doubt about if the 45 deg are a rule to 
the fonts, or using non 45 deg lines isnt a problem.
Can someone point me about that? If the non 45 deg lines are not a problem, I 
will finish and if somebody finds it nice, can use it. As I could see, PCB 
puts the fonts on every .pcb he creates, so, changing the default font to 
another will not change the fonts in file created in the past.

Another point, as I could understand PCB only accepts lines for the fonts, do 
not accept arcs. Using arcs in fonts makes it much more nice. Someboby knows 
if it is too hard to suport arcs in fonts like lines?
