Thanks, I'll give it a try with minipack sometime soon. Is there (or
is there supposed to be) any correlation between the gschem text size
and the actual printed size? e.g. is text size = 10 supposed to render
10pt text when printed?

Definitely agree on that.

Building with minipack is fairly straightforward (once you've done it
once...). I'm quite happy to sort my particular problem out that way.

They've been working well for me since you first released an
unofficial build. I use the mingw tools along with them (mainly make)
for automating some of the tasks. I think I raised the issues I had
way back when you first offered a build - since then, pretty smooth
sailing. I've grabbed your Cairo build and installed it earlier today
(schematic time again) so I'll let you know if I see anything
suspicious. I generally output directly to a pdf though, so printing
has never really been an issue to me.

Thanks for making the builds available. Could you please send me the
nsi installer script? I would like to figure out how that works so
that I can package an unofficial build.

Thanks,
Duncan
