I really don't know where to direct this problem. I have a manuscript
that I format with groff -e -ms that has an inline equation using the
eqn "sqrt" operator. When I format the manuscript to postscript, and
look at it (with gv) or print it on a postscript printer, the square-
root radical comes out perfectly. However, when I use ps2pdf to
"distill" the postscript to pdf, the equation is a complete mess: it
starts OK, prints the √ ok, but then backspaces about an inch, and
prints the rest semi-randomly on top of the first part. When I use
Adobe or pstopdf, I get slightly different errors, but neither is
correct. It appears to be an interaction between how groff generates
the postscript code and how the pdf distillers interpret it.
I am using OSX 10.4.10, groff 1.19.2_1, and ghostscript 8.54_0.
For the moment, I've used a little algebra and rewritten the relevant
section of my manuscript in such a way as to avoid the square root,
but it would be really great if someone could take a look at this for
future purposes.
Cheers,
