In the 1.5 version of the mom macros, I added some definitions to facilitate the drawing of common graphical objects (rules, boxes, ellipses). All of them use the \D escape.
The macros work fine with groff 1.19.2 (from the repository) on boxes running GNU/Linux. Recently, a user wrote me saying the macros *don't* work on his Mac box (OSX) with groff 1.19.1. He's able to use \D escapes to draw graphical objects, but the mom macros using those same escapes don't render the objects at all. I'm not in a position to help the user since I don't have access to a Mac box for testing and debugging. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a reason why the user is experiencing this problem under OSX on Mac. Something to do with the way groff 1.19.1 is built for OSX? Differences between 1.19.1 and 1.19.2? (The user has mentioned the .DBX macro--for boxes--several times, so maybe someone with an eagle eye can have a look at that macro in particular. The definition starts at line 3055 of the most recent version of mom in the repository.) -- Peter Schaffter _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
