Follow-up Comment #6, bug #64155 (project groff):
> Is it an error to specify a family where some font styles are missing if the document never asks to use those styles? I'd characterize that as a warning. I'd like to see the formatter check for the existence of all four styles when a family is requested. (Or at startup if `-f` is specified.) > Is it an error to specify a family where _all_ font styles are missing if the document never actually uses that family? (e.g., specifying "-fZD" on the command line to process a document whose first line is ".fam T") I'd make this a warning too. And, more realistically, in the case where, on the "dvi" device, someone specified -fC, thinking they could get something equivalent to the "Courier" family. But the Computer Modern fonts aren't quite up to that. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64155> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
