Probably requires actions only on OSHPark's side: they'd need to install=20 pcb-rnd and do the export to gerber (or whatever format) as they see fit.= =20 The .pcb file format is self-contained so there wouldn't be more problems= =20 submitting .pcb and rendering it in a "pixel-correct" manner than with=20 gerber or ps or png. If you think it is not hopeless, feel free to contact them. I can give all= =20 support to them (as well as to any other user). I am sort of pessimist=20 about this: there are 1000 different layout software available, they=20 probably don't want to install, maintain and learn all them, instead they= =20 probably pick the most popular 1..4. If they don't support geda/pcb with=20 the user count it has, it's pretty unlikely they'd go for pcb-rnd (much=20 lower user count). Do they support Kicad?
