Michail,
I use a Laserjet 4050 for all of my output. It takes postscript
directly.
In four years of operation with it and groff produced output, I've

I use PS for printing school papers, letters, etc. PS is my primary
output mode for groff.
Do you use fonts supplied with groff or install your own font files?
I use those referenced via groff.

Werner is now desiding what to consider the default font set for devps.

I recently typeset a 400-page book that is going to the publisher
in the next few weeks (I am not the author). It is typeset using
groff and PostScript output. I also convert the PS to PDF for
