As an experiment, I wanted to create a simple troff document that

I use the following command to make the test.eps file:

-dinclude-eps-fonts
test.ly
When I try to run groff (version 1.19.2) on my troff file, I get the
following 2 messages:
grops:test.eps:16: unknown resource type
grops:test.eps:17: unknown resource type
Speaking as the groff maintainer:
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The fonts are embedded as CFFs,
using PostScript Level 3 features: the `FontSetInit' procedure and
`FontSet' resource. Currently, grops doesn't understand this. Maybe
I'm going to add this, but I can't promise any time frame.
A workaround is to use
lilypond test.ly
then calling
eps2eps test.ps test.eps
to get an EPS file accepted by grops (and thus groff).
High-resolution printing is just fine if you do it like this, but
text
embedded in the EPS is converted to outlines, thus all PS hints are
lost, makeing online viewing not optimal.

Thanks. I had figured out that grops did not support the version of
EPS
output by lilypond. I had not figured out a work around yet. I
will try
your suggestion.
Thanks again.
Kim
That solution works.
Thanks.
