I realize I’m just one person, but my use of groff (and Heirloom for using
useful fonts) is entirely outside of man pages…

Hi! I’m trying to typeset my newly amended condominium trust, because the word
version is really ugly, and I decided to try using MOM to do so (the
heading/list functions in MS didn’t seem powerful enough, and I can’t find
readable documentation of MM, while the MOM documentation is fantastic).

Sorry to jump in, but because of the recent thread around sentence spacing,
probably the man page should either have every sentence start on a new line, or
put two spaces after sentence-final periods?

Hi! I am using groff to generate some PDF reports. Each report consists of data
for a number of different invoices, each of which is going to a different
payee. We are being asked to submit each invoice separately, so we need to
create a separate PDF for each center.
The roff file is being gene

I also just tried `.fp 0 … `, and also changing to `.fp 0 Symbola Symbola.ttf`,
incase the issue was with the whole “supply” argument.

According to the Heirloom Troff manual, I think that you cannot just insert
Unicode characters (although maybe if your LC* environment variables are set
correctly, you can?). It says:

Hi! I just upgraded to groff 1.22.4, and suddenly my files are not turning into PDFs properly. The
error is "can't find font NR" (and "NI"). This is on Mac OS X 10.13, with the
groff installed by Homebrew.
Looking at /usr/local/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf, especially when comparing it with d
Hi! I’m working on a project where I want to use troff to create PDFs. I want
to use some particular OpenType features (in particular, a bunch of smart
kerning and character substitutions), but I also want to embed PDF images into
the final PDF.
What I’ve discovered is that GNUs groff does not

gropdf doesn’t implement the “\X” command according to the documentation, which
is the problem.
I’m trying to keep things off the command line, because that makes the file
