I run Cygwin on Windows 98. The groff package comes with Times Roman New Century Schoolbook and a few others. A web page from an old Linux Journal mentions a Computer Modern collection of fonts from Blue Sky Research that are "freely available". I don't know if that means "readily" available or available at no charge.
I am typesetting a series of novels for a friend, and was planning to use New Century Schoolbook, but if I typeset in Times Roman I get a much shorter page count. I prefer New Century because it is much easier to read and looks a lot nicer, but the publisher wants to keep page count down. I would like to have a broader selection of fonts on my system, but dislike the idea of paying $50 or more each for them. Are there any sites where one can download *.pfb or *.pfa files that can be used with groff? I know about converting .pfb to .pfa files and it is my understanding that I have to get rid of the ligatures other than ff, ffl, fl, ffi, and fi in the dit file. Any clues about where I can get the fonts? Thanks, Clarke _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
