I started using heirloom troff now and I am quite happy with it. It *does* support UTF-8 and modern fonts. Heirloom doctools do ship an updated troff manual which is a good reference. The central place for documentation is [0]. [0] http://troff.org But you are right when you miss easy user-level documenation, this is rare in fact. However, I haven't had much problem becoming familiar with troff and friends (supported by my Latex knowledge). > Besides, the project wasn't updated since April 2008. Is that a problem? IMO this isn't long ago for software which is matured. I read in another mail that you need the Word-editable output for proof-readers or someone similar. Is there plain-text sufficient? Because then you could simply generate output with nroff. (I suppose Word can deal with plain-text files.) If not -- if the output have to contain formatations, images, etc -- then you will not become happy with troff, I'm afraid. But I don't know about about troff2whatever converters. btw: You say, it's for scientific papers ... I wonder: don't they use Latex for them? It's so common in this field of action. meillo
