Yes - at least that's my understanding from the geda web-site.  It says:
	gaf(1) is a multipurpose command line utility implementing 
		setting up the above programs, exporting schematics and symbols 
	into various formats, and shell for command line processing of 
		their data.

See also: http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gaf_utility

What I want to be able to do is to print schematics without needing X[11] 
running.  I was able to make this work for a while using a utility
that simulated the X environment - but this stopped working nearly a
year ago, and I haven't had the time to see if I could restore it
somehow.  'gaf' provides a mechanism for printing that does
not require X.

Thanks for your interest!
