It seems wasteful for all gEDA users to be doing this.
Wouldn't you find this bizarre: "I print only with fonts I made myself
and triple checked for consistency." If I said that, you might
consider me a control freak with too much time on my hands. For
similar reasons, I think a board design application should come with a
tested library of popular footprints. Now, having been burned a
couple times by broken footprints in pcb, I now check closely before
sending the board off. I think we can agree that this is an
undesirable situation. (I also realize that footprint library
maintenance is hard work, and I'm not volunteering.)
