Thanks Denis, I did post to the Gentoo forums but had no reply - should have thought to check the bugzilla. I probably wouldn't have gone as far as posting my own bug if it did not already exist as I am not an experienced kicad user and thought perhaps there was some setting I wasn't able to find. I am happy to wait for the updated version. At the moment I'm the only person who has to view my schematics but I am considering going commercial with my work and wanted to be sure I could produce schematics in English. There is one other thing you could help with, the help menu item in my Gentoo kicad replies that it can't find the .pdf files. I emerged with the doc USE flag. Where should the PDF's be located? No existing bug for this one :-) Thanks, -Shane.
