Follow-up Comment #12, bug #64421 (project groff): I recreated the PDF file with Arch Linux's groff-1.23.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and groff-1.22.4-10-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst packages, using the -P-d flag, as follows. I reinstalled the old package version from a separate terminal in between running these.
-verbatim- gnoack:~/momrepro$ sh repro.sh > groff-1.22.4-10-d.pdf troff: <standard input>:5: can't transparently output node at top level gnoack:~/momrepro$ sh repro.sh > groff-1.23.0-d.pdf gnoack:~/momrepro$ cat repro.sh #!/bin/sh cat <<EOF | groff -P-d -mom -Tpdf .TITLE "Example" .DOCTYPE LETTER .PRINTSTYLE TYPESET .PAPER A4 .START .DRH EOF gnoack:~/momrepro$ Interesting is also that the invocation with the old groff version is printing this warning, while the new groff version does not. I also verified that it's not a funny interaction with my PDF viewer. I can see the "black" label with all of evince, zathura and mupdf. The two PDF files are attached. I can also confirm that it works with the Postscript backend, when groff is invoked with groff -mom -Tps. That file is also attached.
