It seems wasteful for all gEDA users to be doing this. Wouldn't you find this bizarre: "I print only with fonts I made myself and triple checked for consistency." If I said that, you might consider me a control freak with too much time on my hands. For similar reasons, I think a board design application should come with a tested library of popular footprints. Now, having been burned a couple times by broken footprints in pcb, I now check closely before sending the board off. I think we can agree that this is an undesirable situation. (I also realize that footprint library maintenance is hard work, and I'm not volunteering.)
