Hi Werner, > Hmm. It seems that Arch Linux doesn't set up the URW fonts. Bad.
They deliberately try to alter upstream as little as possible, AIUI. https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/groff shows the PKGBUILD file that defines how to build the upstream source. Is there some groff configuration that is missing to have the U foundry appear, or is it more the distribution has to apply its knowledge of what fonts from where are available and tailor devpdf/download? > Attached is what I get for input file `z.tr' containing ... > groff -P -y -P U -Tpdf z.tr > z.pdf Ah, no mention of Times, and Nimbus embedded. It's a big file though, ~120,000 bytes compared with ~4,000 if -Tps and ps2pdf is used to also embed Nimbus. I guess the latter picks just certain runes? And that's with gropdf, the ditroff → PDF stage. Presuambly, troff has used Times' metrics before that? (It could well be the metric differences are minute and there just to avoid copyright hassle?) Cheers, Ralph.
