Update of bug #62923 (project groff):
Category: Preprocessor eqn => Device gropdf
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #16:
Reassigning back to category _gropdf_, per comment #9.
There may indeed be at least two other bugs we can spawn from this one.
1. Should _eqn_ ever emit \[sr] or \[radicalex] special characters itself?
Per my analysis in comment #12, it doesn't. But I can't think of a reason for
it to. If the glyphs aren't available in the full panoply of styles you'll
get them from an unstyled font regardless, and if you want to format them in a
non-mathematical context, don't use _eqn_, right?
2. As Deri points out in comment #13, the ps.tmac has a pretty wacky
redefinition of \[radicalex]. While it doesn't seem to break anything, is it
doing anything useful with the extra motions? Can we simplify it, or remove
it, without losing anything? (We'd still want to leave the fallback
definition of \[sqrtex], I think.)
I confess I haven't attempted to reproduce anything with the XITMSR font yet.
If anyone wants to follow up on either of the above points, please consider
filing a new ticket.
