Summary: pdf export is garbled

Initial Comment:
I tried to export example/orcad/rs232_cm.asb  to a pdf file.

Unfortunately the pdf file generated is unusable:
1. When just exporting the layer without any modifications, the labels "D1" and 
"R1" are missing. (see rs232_cm.unrotated.pdf in attachment)
2. When exporting the layer after rotating it 90 deg CCW the labels "D1" and 
"R1" are there, but garbled. Furthermore the outlines of the board are not 
meeting each other at the ends, and the pads are not centered in the 
surrounding boxes. (see rs232_cm.rotated.pdf in attachment)

Simon,
  Yes, I'm finding that the Cairo library we use for the graphics is
causing problems with recent versions.  It is basically forcing all output
to be 72dpi for printing and exporting features.  I'm still trying to find
a workaround to get this fixed.  I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,
Julian

Message:
The problem here seems to be, that the resolution is set to 72dpi in 
gerbv_render_info_t gerbv_export_autoscale_project (gerbv_project_t
*gerbvProject)
in exportimage.c
72dpi is definitely not enough for pdf export.
