Glad you liked them. The inductor and large capacitor are from the
original gEDA library. All of the other symbols I made.

The only reason that I know of is the labor to measure and adjust sizes.
Some of the symbols (diode and current source) are very easy since all
of the pins are on the same axis. Doing multiply sizes of FETs and
BJTs required adjusting element positions so that the pin ends are on grid.

If you zoom way in you can see that some of the intersections between
lines should be cleaner and that the fills are not complete. Printing the pdf
file on a letter size sheet should look good.
