Using -Tpdf gives a PDF that refers to Times-Roman and doesn't embed my local Nimbus substitute. Adding `-P -y -P U' didn't change the PDF produced, apart from expected CreationDate, trailer's ID, etc. /usr/share/groff/1.22.3/font/devpdf/download has only the "blank" foundry, with no mention of Times. Arch Linux groff 1.22.3-6. Cheers, Ralph.
