Anyway, with gerbview or pcbnew the print output is not usable,
everything is distorted.

I've tried the postscript plot fonction of pcbnew several times and
discovered two things :
- Every layer output is ok but the silks_cmp one, which is not
complete (no fonts and only some or no components shown).
- If I add an alignment target, every ps file I plot is empty.

In fact I tried that on a debian sid and an ubuntu with 20080715. The
result is the same except that I can see the empty files with ubunutu.
With debian, the ps files seem broken.

With debian version 2007-11-29-a, I can plot what I want without problems.
But the print result is still distorted and unusable.
