Re: gEDA-user: change text size on pins

You, you are right, I am wrong.  I did this from memory.

Now I have gschem open in front of me.  Do this:

1.  Select the symbol.
2.  Right click -> down symbol (or do Hierarchy -> down symbol).  This
    takes you to the symbol editor. 
3.  Select the pinnumber you want to change.
4.  Do Edit -> Edit Text (or type keyboard shortcut "ex").
5.  Change the font size in the pop-up box.
6.  Repeat for all desired text elements.
7.  File -> save
8.  Right click -> up (or Hierarchy -> up).  Now you are back in the
    schematic editor.
9.  With the symbol still selected do Edit -> Update component (or use
    keyboard shortcut "ep").  If this doesn't work, just delete the
    symbol and reload it.

HTH,

Stuart
