OK. I'll try to repeat my message again.

1) The Liberation(tm) Fonts is a font family which aims at metric
compatibility with Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New.
(https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/)

2) gschem uses Arial for displaying.

3) X window system can use Liberation to substitute for Arial if you
have no MS fonts installed.

4) You can get those original M$ fonts for free.

5) If gschem has any problems with some Liberation font and has no
problems with the original MS fonts then the Liberation fonts are
guilty because they claim metric compatibility.

6) To prove this you need first install the original fonts and check
that everything is OK, and then uninstall the original fonts and install
Liberation and check the result.

7) Bottom line:
a) If you have some problems only with some Liberation font then you
should blame the font.
b) If you have the same problems with MS Arial and some Liberation font
you should blame gschem rendering and could file the bug report.

And if some application requires some Liberation font and it is broken,
you could use MS fonts instead. There should be no conflict with any
other package.
