Yes, it's somehow a groff "bug". Could also be named a bug that this glyph has a so different appearence in bold face at traditional troff, but groff should be compatible with legacy troff (with its bugs also ;-) > > Is there a way to get the standard (UNIX V7) behaviour of a solid > > filled bold \(sq? > > For what output devices?

I will check this, thank you very much! (To have it some day for postscript \fB\(sq also would be very nice (for compatibility reasons).) Thanx for your help! Regards, Carsten
