GNU roff has been updated to the latest upstream version 1.23.0. The
following packages are available on Cygwin:
groff-1.23.0-1
groff-perl-1.23.0-1
groff-X11-1.23.0-1
- Various PDF fonts produce warnings but seem to work in general:
$ echo "Hello, World!" | groff -Tpdf -f A > hello.A.pdf
/usr/bin/gropdf: warning: The download file in
'/usr/share/groff/1.23.0/font/devpdf' has erroneous entry for
'AvantGarde-Book (AR)'
$ grep -a BaseFont hello.A.pdf
5 0 obj << /BaseFont /AvantGarde-Book
Affected are all except T(imes), H(elvetica) and C(ourier).
This script tests all PDF fonts for warnings:
===
#!/bin/sh
(cd /usr/share/groff/current/font/devpdf && ls -d *R 2>/dev/null) \
| while read f; do
f=${f%R}
echo "$f:"
echo "Hello, World!" | groff -Tpdf -f "$f" > "hello.$f.pdf"
done
===
- Man pages could no longer be formatted with a specific font. Only
header and footer lines use the selected font then, the rest stays at
the default font 'T':
$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz | groff -man -Tpdf -f H > ls.1.H.pdf
$ grep -a BaseFont ls.1.H.pdf
6 0 obj << /BaseFont /Helvetica-Oblique
10 0 obj << /BaseFont /Helvetica
13 0 obj << /BaseFont /Times-Bold
16 0 obj << /BaseFont /Times-Roman
19 0 obj << /BaseFont /Times-Italic
Intentional change or regression?
