I have -- I needed some bold symbols to match the bold font I was using in PDFs used as overheads in my lectures. See: http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/teaching/SGTM/lect07pr-3.pdf Actually, this raises another issue: I use Helvetica Bold for gfont but Goudy Sans for grfont, but Helvetica is perhaps 10% larger than other fonts of the same point size. In TeX there is a scaling adjustment that can be used to match the sizes. Is there an equivalent in groff?
