Re: gEDA-user: If you also think the PCB lower-case letter 's' is ugly, here's a replacement



As fonts are required from all CAD systems, here a posting from Varkon list ;-)

This font is required for drawings by certain institutions.

How hard would it be to make use of the freetype library to handle all

pcb's fonts are special:  they are a single line wide.  When you need
the smallest letters that a given silk process can print legibly, you
want those single-line fonts.

For larger fonts, freetype would be great, and save us the
machinations of creating the text in inkscape or something and
importing it with pstoedit.

Discuss also using QCAD fonts, please.
