Good point, but it doesn't change the outcome for me.


$ echo 'Yo!' | ./build/test-groff -Z -Tpdf | ./build/gropdf -F ./font -F
./build/font >/dev/null
$ echo $?
0


(Since I use separate source and build trees, I directed _gropdf_ to
both...though to be fair I don't see anything in the **source** _font/devpdf_
directory that the output driver can directly use.)
