Still less can you apply a perspective transformation to

dvantage of the ".ll" approach is that you can use an
arbitrary (provided it's valid) numerical expression to set
its value, so complicated expressions (like Gunnar Ritter's
lw(\n(.lu/10u) lw(\n(.lu*9u/10u).
which would not work for classic troff at least) can be used.

For instance, should one abbreviate "Street" as "St" or "St."?
Either is compatible: "S[tree]t" or "St[reet]."
In practice one sees both.

Now that you mention it, it should have occurred to me that a
Roman font should not have italic corrections! But it was getting
late at night ...

and then all you need to type is something like
Here I want to bring the quotes\[""] back into phase
For example:
.smartq
.LP
"This is a Quote"
.LP
Here we get " out of phase
.LP
.LP
"This is a Quote"
.LP
And here
e syntax of "upper" (and similarly "lower") which triggers a
special interpretation of "left".
On the other hand, if you omit "upper", as in
.PS
A: circle "A"
B: A left
circle "B" at B
.PE
then it is a syntax error (and a semantic one too, since what
could be meant by a "circle drawn leftwards"?).
If you want to have code similar to the above, then it should be
.PS
A: circle "A"
B: A .left
circle "B" at B
.PE
Is there a known implementation of pic which does it the way
Joel Denny expects (i.e. as in "B: A left")?
Or have I missed some hidden point in this thread?
Best wishes,
Ted.

not impossible) to invent 5 simply-connected regions each of

ic to a particular version of troff,
as used by Luke's wife for her thesis. If it's not generic,
then I doubt we should add too many such "special patches"
to groff.
So let's wait for Luke to tell us more detail! In particular,
which "make" of tro
ere on page 7 is a table of
Escape Sequences for Characters, Indicators and Functions
the last of which is
- \ZZ, any character not listed above
Thus "Z" in "\Z" is a dummy and does not stand for itself.
(Of course, in that context it sould also stand for itself,
