No idea.

> 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.

I believe that it is a matter of using cairo for all rendering, whether screen
(done) or print/export (ps, pdf, and other formats). I don't know what it would 
take in terms of developer time to implement it. My feeling is that it does not 
present major technical difficulties, but is quite time consuming.
