Font Palatino
Hey fellow gruff users Actually writing this makes me wonder how many we are around the world that actually uses groff/troff on a regular basis. What do you think a hundred? Well I do use groff on a regular basis and have done that since I guess 2008. I've been playing with fonts every now and again but that's a long time ago. I remember that Peter Scheffer had made a script that you could quite easily add a true type font that you found somewhere and I did that but that was many years ago. I didn't use any non-basic fonts for a long time. Now I am in a situation where I want to use the font called Palatino which is in the ghost script package fonts. What would be the easiest step for me to get Palatino working in my groff ms document? /Mikkel from Denmark
Re: Font Palatino
The manual pages for gropdf and grops should gave you enough information. Looking at "fonts_x.ps" and "fonts_n.ps" shows you how the glyphs look like in the groff package hdtbl, residing in the build directory ".../contrib/hdtbl/examples" in the git repository and in Debian "/usr/share/doc/groff-base/examples/hdtbl". The Palatino fonts are on pages [26,29].

Nothing special is required to access the fonts. The single-letter identifier is P, thus .ft PR = Palatino roman .ft PI = Palatino italic etc. -- Peter Schaffter https://www.schaffter.ca

Re: PDF hyperlinks working in Evice and xpdf but not Okular

I figured out the trouble here--PEBKAC. You have to have Okular in "Browse" mode in the toolbar, as opposed to "Text Selection" or some other thing. This setting is persistent across application launches on a per-document basis, which I did not expect. So PDF hyperlinks in man(7) are working beautifully in Okular too.
