Board manufacturers typically do not print silkscreen on areas without
soldermask. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have proper gerbers to begin with, i.e., gerbers with no silkscreen in soldermaskless areas. Of course, most of the problem can be taken care of by drawing the footprints properly. However, sometimes the silkscreen of one footprint ends up on the pads of another one (think components under a so-dimm card, for example). The attached patch adds an option to subtract the soldermask from the silkscreen when doing gerber output. marco
