Subject: [geda-user] Adjusting the Size of Junction Circles and Printing UTF-8 Characters
 in gschem

Hello All—


I was able to get gschem to print in color by adding one line to 
~/.gEDA/gschmerc :

(load (build-path geda-rc-path "print-colormap-lightbg")

This allows me to have dark background on the  display and white (non-colored) background on the printed schematic, saving printer toner.  However, two things prevent me from having the perfect gschem printout:

1.  In light background (e.g. print) the filled circles of junctions look kind of small.  Is there any way I can make them bigger?  I looked at all configuration files and consulted the wiki, but found nothing about the size of junction circles.

2.  (I asked a similar question before.)  gschem displays UTF-8 characters faithfully, but does not print them.  I do not understand how that can happen.  Does gschem use different character sets for displaying vs. printing?  Currently, the UTF-8 characters are just skipped on the printed output.  I would like to be able to print them.


TIA for your time.
