This is more of a hack than a real solution (there was a
discussion on the geda-dev mailing list about this some time
ago - see the thread about the new print dialog), but it
works for me.

You have to make your own Postscript prolog with gschem.

Copy the original "prolog.ps" file to your ~/.gEDA directory
and add the following line to your ~/.gEDA/gafrc file:

(postscript-prolog "${HOME}/.gEDA/prolog.ps")

Now you can do all sorts of tricks in "prolog.ps". To double
the linewidth, replace all occurrences of "setlinewidth"
with "2 mul setlinewidth".

I also like to increase the text size. You can do that by
replacing the "exch scalefont" line with "exch 1.6 mul
scalefont" (which scales all font sizes by 1.6).

gschem now uses a completely different renderer (libgedacairo), so this bug is out of date.
