As I said the metrics on Helvetica didn't change in the last 30 years or so (and I doubt they'll ever change) so a careful tuning of the horizontal scaling would give a very reasonable result (interletter spacing could be adjusted too, to better match kicad font). Since I use a different font probably there are different mismatches. Anyway, for both PS and PDF, the support is already there (just call one routine instead of the other with the right rendermode). > Selection of "hidden" reveals secrets at least on Evince ;) Well, probably because rendermode 3 isn't exactly used all the times (anyway it works and it's fully specified...). xpdf doesn't show a thing, instead. Adobe Reader doesn't show a thing but selection is highlighted (there is an horizontal caret, too!). By the way, I looked into the 'document assembly' permission... Acrobat is an idiot, in the PDF release I'm using (1.4) that capability doesn't ever exists! Probably if I declared a newer version they would be 'magically' enabled... I have the standard till the ISO version (1.7); it's more than 700 pages, I refuse to study a bigger one :D -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
