You can't. groff doesn't support font subsetting (yet). To get small files, process groff's output with ghostscript's `ps2ps` tool or something similar. > I installed the GNU freefonts maybe it has something to do with it? Yes, all your fonts are obviously converted to PostScript resources and embedded into the output file. IIRC it's actually possible to make groff not embed the fonts. However, this means that you *must* preprocess the output file with ghostscript to get something portable. Werner
