This works great, but there's a side effect on one of my machines: - With groff 1.23.0, the whole document is set in Helvetica (as configured via .fam). - With groff 1.22.4, the content of the static displays is set in Times New Roman (the rest of the document is set in Helvetica). Is this a known limitation of the older groff package? - Jan
