Okay. I read the list, so I was aware that it was intended to make using the pdfmark package easier; however, I assumed that it would process regular (non-pdfmark) files as well. I read the man page to see if that was the case; since nothing mentioned otherwise, I assumed it was. Perhaps a mention in the man page about this might help avoid unrealistic expectations. My main motivation for using pdfroff instead of plain groff -Tps is that ghostscript (and all the document viewers based on it) produces (IMO) ugly font output when viewing PostScript files in X, whereas poppler produces nice output for PDF. I guess I'll go back to piping the output of groff into ps2pdf. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
