##### -Tpdf The command
$ echo file | groff -Tpdf > /tmp/g.pdf $ okular g.pdf will only print `le', the `fi' has vanished. That is because the ligature `fi' is not available in pdf mode. ##### -Tps ok, but ps2pdf does not $ echo file | groff -Tps > /tmp/g.ps $ gv g.ps will print `file', so the ligature `fi' is displayed. But $ ps2pdf /tmp/g.ps will override `/tmp/g.pdf' and $ okular g.pdf will show again the loss of the ligature `fi'. ##### These look like a bug in pdf mode, maybe also some basic stuff in ps modem I could not check what exactly.
