gEDA-user: gschem text line spacing in postscript

2010-02-23 Thread Duncan Drennan
Hi, I noticed a small issue with the line spacing in the postscript output of gschem. It appears to be that the text line spacing is not consistent with the font scaling when output to postscript. Here is a screenshot to show the difference between the gschem scaling and the output postscript

The attached patch should make things a little closer between on-screen and print-out. Apparently this isn't the whole story though, on my box at least, Pango seems to be using a little inter-line spacing. The calculations with this patch assume that a 12 point font has 12/72 inches between each
