Pictures have to be converted either to eps or pdf. If your output is PostScript, converted eps images are inserted with the PSPIC macro (see groff_tmac(5)). If your output is pdf and you're using the mom macros, pdf images are inserted with the PDF_IMAGE macro. See www.schaffter.ca/mom/momdoc/images.html#pdf-image For a brief discussion about images in groff, see www.schaffter.ca/mom/momdoc/images.html#images-intro > > 3) Is the `-dpaper` option the proper way to set the paper size? > > Are there more proper ways? The usual way is to set the physical dimensions in your source file if they differ from the default papersize(1) of your system, and invoke groff with the -P-p<size> option. E.g. if your system default is US letter and you want an A4 document, set the a4 dimensions in the source file and process it with groff -P-pa4 ... Note that if you use the mom macros and pdfmom(1) to produce PDF output, there is no need to specify the papersize at the command line since pdfmom extracts the dimensions of the page from the source file. > > 4) Given a TTF file, what is the best way to add custom fonts?

Probably the easiest way to convert and install TTF fonts for use with groff is the 'install-font.sh' script, available here http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/bin/install-font.sh Remember to make the file executable. -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
