No, there has indeed been a regression between (in my case) GNU roff version 1.24.0.rc1.4-3a8f-modified and GNU roff version 1.24.0.rc2.26-48ff-modified Even if I enter the correct path to the urw fonts with the "--with-urw-fonts-dir=/home/mojo/.fonts" configure option, which is where my urw fonts are, this is ignored by ./configure and the path to the urw fonts in the configuration summary is set to the incorrect /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/Font running autoreconf -fvi does not solve it. Running ./bootstrap gives me this fatal error: fatal: Unable to checkout 'dc9ad4ec31fb09d247036f6a031e4ec6efbaa26c' in submodule path 'gnulib' Regards, Morten
