I can not reproduce the problem. In fact, the examples Peter sent
(http://archives.seul.org/geda/user/Feb-2005/msg00208.html) look good
to me providing I tell my postscript viewer the size of the paper.

With no patching, the schematics are centered, margins are correct
whatever the paper size you use. Do I miss something?

Nevertheless the postscript output lacks DSC (Document Structuring
Conventions). DSC embedds in the output file information on page
size, bounding box... I guess this is how the viewer decides of the
right size for the paper. PCB has support for DSC. This is definetely
something to add (see also bug gschem/58) but AFAICS it has little to
do with what you described.

Peter could you please check that the problem still exists in the
latest libgeda/gschem from CVS? Could you give a more detailed
description of the problem?

Regards,


Patrick
