Greetings,
I had a problem with producing underlines a few years ago. Werner provided
a macro (.Underline) and included it in a file named ul.tmac. That file

Greetings,
I have been using the default groff fonts for many happy years. However, I
need to produce a document with a machine-generated signature. There are
plenty of adequate signature fonts out there. However, I do not know how to
