I tried both versions. I was able to choose the behaviour by compiling gtk+ with different configure options - either --enable-gdktarget=quartz or --enable-gdtarget=x11. But the problem with the mis-sized fonts appeared in both cases. Later, I experimented only with the x11-version, think it is more likely to be successful as it is somehow closer to normal linux distributions. > I wonder about installing some of these requisites via something like > fink, or macports.

The problem is that I'm really new to gschem and don't know how the proper behaviour of text and fonts should be. All I have is a postscript printout of some test drawing (which looks really nice) and the screen view (which looks completely wrong with the original source code and "a bit wrong" with my quick- and-dirty-quick patch of setting the GEDA_FONT_FACTOR from 1.3 to 0.08. I have a linux partition on my hard disk too. I'll try to install geda/gschem there too, for having a reference. Maybe it would be possible to print out the reported DPI value as a debug output? One could compare linux and mac version then. I'll keep trying a few things out, but any hints are still appreciated. I'm not very experienced with software development, and always need a lot of time for small steps.
