Dear all, lured by the instant rewards after installing a new font with font-install.sh which covers Cyrillic and Greek in addition to Latin (Linux Libertine), I gave it a try and also installed a CJK font in the very same manner.
This is the command line I use to compile my file after I applied Deri's suggestion to pdf.tmac: $ groff -k -ms -Tpdf multitest.ms > multitest.pdf You see the attached source file. I noticed a bit of latency while compiling *and* while displaying the result --- so very untypical of groff. When I wanted to attach the pdf result, I understood, why. The pdf file is a whopping 25745276 bytes big. The resulting pdf file contains one huge "stream" object approx. 100,000 lines long. I think this is the CJK glyph data. Does groff have any concept of storing only those glyph shapes in the target file which are really required by the document? Thank you, Best regards, Oliver. -- Dr. Oliver Corff Mail: oliver.co...@email.de
