gEDA-dev: libstroke testing

[Timmerman, Bert]

Hi Kai and all,

FWIW, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think I have understood the
following:

GTK labels are for button labels and such eyecandy in the GUI, this is
configurable wit the theme-selector or window manager of your choice.

gEAD texts are text, chararcters and visible attributes in the
schematics, as stated below by Bernd, and as defined in symbols/font.

Just my EUR 0.02

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.

No - gEDA text is a bunch of libgeda objects that, to humans, happen
to look like text.  I suspect the text isn't even visible to GTK+ at
all, only to gdk through which gschem draws the primitives (lines).
