I've used this script and I agree it's great. But it's not part of groff, not distributed with groff, and as far as I can find, not mentioned in groff documentation anywhere. It's a solution to a general groff problem that's only mentioned in mom documentation. Really, it--or something with similar functionality--should be distributed with groff unless/until groff can handle other font formats natively. >> Personally I enjoy adjusting the kerning pairs via the groff font, That sounds like a defining hallmark of "typography nerd" ;-)
