Hm, apparently, it should be something like

:ChangeSize(SelectedTexts,+5,mil)

or, by inference

:ChangeSize(SelectedTexts,0.5,mm)

but unfortunately, still nothing happens, no matter how I select the
RefDes text and/or component. So this functionality appears to be
broken. I'll stick to the external bash script modifying the .pcb file
for now.

Ah, that one is really what I was looking for -- and right under my
nose, at that... Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm sorry, but I can't find this export option in gschem, pcb nor
gatttrib. How do I invoke this one? And how can I change the settings
(e.g. the fields exported and their order)?
