I'm trying to prepare for toner transfer etching and getting some
fine pitch stuff working, so I looked at DJ's instructions for
using the bloat option when exporting to PostScript.  But no matter
if I set bloat to -1.25 mil or whatever, it has no effect on the
output.  I even compared the no-bloat version to the
negative-bloated version in GIMP at high resolution, doing a
layer-difference and there are no differences.  The .ps files do
differ in some way, a few lines have different numbers however
according to diff -u, but only a few dozens of lines of PS script
out of thousands... something's not right.  Perhaps the nanometer
units conversion messed it up?

Regards,
Colin
