Hi Deri, > The "*" just means that the font does not need to be included in the pdf, > unless the -e flag was given to gropdf, i.e. it is one of the base fonts.
Thanks. That's not in the gropdf(1) I have here. It does say `filename is searched for using the same mechanism that is used for groff font metric files' and so I thought it might be to do with that and went searching `info groff | less'. Using `*' as a prefix clashes a bit with my suggestion of allowing it to be a glob. Perhaps if the `download' file is having an overhaul then its format should change to have more fields, e.g. foundry font path flags Where flags can contain an `e' if it's only for embedding all fonts, and a `*' if path is to be globbed for exactly one match. -- Cheers, Ralph.
