gEDA-user: OR components screwed on postscript output

[bruno schwander <bschwand@dvart.com>]

When I make a schematic with for example a 7400 component, the schematic
looks good in gschem but the postscript generated has all the rounded
part too thin, and the upper right arc is wrong, it goes about 90 to 360
degrees instead of going from 0 to 90 (if 0 degree angle is considered
at the top of the drawing).
Maybe this is old, but I have not found it in the maillist archive.
I am using gschem 20001217 under FreeBSD 4.2 release. (no I have not
made a port - yet..., just rebuild it)

If the above description is too obscure, I can post the postscript and
or schematic (fairy small)

BTW, looking at the postscript generated by gschem, I would say that it
is fairly simple. It would be advantageous to emphasize the fact that
postscript is a programming language, and that gschem describes objects,
to generate more sophisticated postscript code, i.e. instead of stroking
each single line, arc and box, define functions for each components and
reuse them. This would make much more compact postscript, and allow
easier postprocessing of files.

Of course that would change the printing model as far as I can see from
sources...
