Dear Groff mailing list.
Can any of you walk me through what I should do to use the font 'bitstream
vera sans' in my groff document? The font is somehow available in my system
because I use it in my terminal (rxvt-unicode)
Thanks Steffen
I've used Peters font script before and been very happy about it. I just
needed to understand it a bit more of what is actually involved in the
steps. I'll have a look at that link you send me.

Do you guys know what this is all about:
/usr/local/bin/grops:signatur.eps:15: not an integer
??
The PSPIC request in the file look like this
.PSPIC signature.eps
And I convert with
groff text-side2.gr >text-side2.ps
I am on work now. Can not check, but could it be that since I cm not using
any macro packages I should use lower case letter.
.pspic instead of .PSPIC ??

I think there must be a bug in the version og groff that I'v got. It sais
the same thing no matter what eps i use. Also eps'es that I'v med work
befor years ago with at other version og groff.
Ok it is not the version of groff. ( changed to an older one and got same
thing.) However. I fund that it print this error massag but actually still
get the image in the fill so I guess it is not a big problem after all :-)

Thank you Robert for stating this. It is always good to kind of round up

Now I have had the opportunity to experiment a little with this. I had
forgotten what was that sam2p doew better than any other program. It was
file size. Sam2p makes smaller eps files than the other programs which is a

Dear Groff-users
I've been running Linux on my smartphone / tablet for a long time and I've
used all sorts of variants of Linux on Android.
Now I have started to use Termux which is an android app that gives the
user a virtually full Linux system from an ordinary Android terminal.
Really good app
It makes sense. Isn't there a simple search I can perform that will give
me an overview of which fonts my Groff setup has and where they are placed
in the file system ??

Hi
Just a small question. Do you agree with me that ms does not really have
separate procedures for things like indent and text boxes. The concept here
is simply resetting the line start and the line length??

No haven't done any prosper "homework" before asking. Just wanted to here
