Still, it may help!

Many (about 25) years ago there was a version called ffortid
(i.e. RTL "ditroff"). I did try this for a while, but did not manage
to get used to it!
Nonetheless, if you try a google search on "ffortid" you will get
several hits, some of which may be useful.
Good luck!

t;\[+-]", and this results
in a symbols "±" consistiing of a "+" sign above a "-" sign.
When you say 'I need "minus plus" as well as "plus minus", do you
mean that you also need a symbol consisting of a "-" sign above
a "+" sign?

rror cover sheet overflow
So it is intended behaviour! The Cover Page is one page.
Speaking for myself, I never use the cover-page resources, since
it is more straightforward (and offers more flexibility) to simply
write one's own leading text (if needed).
Hoping this helps,
Ted.
appens to be a macro,
like '\.PP', you'll need to escape the period by preceding it with a
backslash, like so '\\\.PP'
So, like Ralph, I'm strongly tempted to conclude that this text simply
did not, for whatever reason, get into the PDF.
I'm not a Mommer, so cannot contribute any possible explanation!

%%BoundingBox: comment)."
So there is a lot of flexibility of this kind in PostScript; but by
default this is not exploited by groff (which, by default, does not
even insert a %%BoundingBox: comment, though one can easily do this
by putting appropriate commands in the start-up script one uses).
