I am thoroughly impressed. For man pages, I think this is optimal as
the default enscript font setting is fixed pitch, and enscript provides
a huge number of options to further customise things. Come to think of
it, it's probably better all round, and definitely easier than LaTeX for
those one-off jobs.
Odd, though, that the original A4 setting in
/usr/share/groff/1.18.1/font/devps/DESC seems not to affect the output.
Maybe I should read up on it in my newly-generated PDF?

What, no error checking? ;-)
Thanks for the help.
