[Bug 698603] Re: Thick lines are longer when printed

[Krzysztof Kościuszkiewicz]

I can still reproduce this with 1.7.0.
This occurs when line end types do not match with the gschemrc setting for "output-capstyle" setting.
Current postscript output code overrides line end settings from gschem with the type specified with the config option.

Thick lines are longer when printed

Bug description:
I've noticed when I export schematics with thick lines to postscript,
those thick lines are longer than they would be if they were thin. See
the attached screenshots for example. The line in that symbol
representing the gate is thickness = 40, while the three shorter lines
for the source, drain, and body are thickness = 20. Viewed in gschem,
the top and bottom of the gate line align horizontally with the other
lines. Viewed in postscript, the gate line is longer.

It's especially problematic with the MOSFET symbol I'm trying to make
here. I'd like to make the drain, source, and body lines thicker. If I
do that, they get long enough to merge together. If I make them
shorter so they look right in postscript, the symbol looks pretty
goofy in the GUI.

[Peter Clifton]

This will be resolved when gschem moves to using the same cairo
rendering code for printing as it does for rendering. Assigning Peter
Brett, as he is working on that code.

BTW, that's under development in my 'libgedacairo' branch
<http://repo.or.cz/w/geda-gaf/peter-b.git>. Take a look, if you want.
Warning: not currently feature-complete, likely to asplode, use with
caution.

This isn't going to make it in time for 1.8.0, so I've removed it from
that milestone.

I've made a patchset for current master git head, which solves this bug.
See attachments. Last of them is a schematic to test objects.

No public branches, only local.
And I have some more related fixes (a couple). They are not for this bug, however.
