Let me explain better: 'groff -Tps' is used to create PostScript documents. It uses it's own font description files, which can be generated by 'afmtodit' from AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) files. These files contain only general font description and font metrics information. Not the font itself. (These files are shipped with groff distribution for the most popular fonts.) When you open the document (or sent it to the printer), then the document viewer (or printer) has to look up required fonts. groff doesn't care. These three *.pfa files are not real fonts. If they are used in groff source document, they are embeded into resulting ps file. = freeeuro.pfa = Contains only one symbol which, I think, is not worthy of creating a font subpackage. In addition, it is not shipped separately as a font. It was created only for groff and it is shipped with it. = symbolsl.pfa = Doesn't contain the font, it requires Symbol font on target device and it just changes it's metrics. 20 lines, 4 kilobytes. I don't consider this to be a font. = zapfdr.pfa = The same here. This font requires ZapfDingbats font on target device. And it creates reverse variant of it by changing it's metrics. (Suppose it is used for decoration.) 218 lines, 8 kilobytes. I would call all *.pfa files above "PS document extensions" rather than "fonts". And if the only problem is pfa extension, I can easily rename these files. Do you agree?
