Independently of this I think I think it would be a nice idea to extend afmtodit so that it supports `CC' (and `PCC'). ... Do you want to work on this? On the other hand, it's probably not worth the trouble since AFM files with `CC' directives are rare (and AFM is dying out anyway).
How much work would it be to hook into whatever system-wide printer drivers there may be? This is something I've been pondering for a while, and I don't even have a clue how gtroff figures out glyph widths (is there some communication between gtroff & the postprocessor?). It would be nice to have access to all the TrueType and PostScript fonts installed on the system without having to build metric files and so forth.
If I were to poke at this, where would I start? -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t Unix Text Processing: "UTP Revival" http://home.alltel.net/kollar/utp/ _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
