That is correct - then fixes itself again when I zoom in further.

Ah, I thought it might have been something like that. So pango is actually picking a different font depending on the on-screen size of the text? >> The GPL schematic disappears entirely (text and surrounding box) when >> I zoom out past a certain level.

To clarify: not just the text, but also the surrounding box and the line near the top of the box disappear. They don't return at any out-er zoom level. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
