It appears from the page header that you're formatting with mm(7), but that doesn't seem have any unexpected consequences in my experiments. > Okular has just a simple square root sign on the left of the > expression, i.e. no encompassing tail over the top. > > evince has a box with segments over the entire expression to the right > hand side of the square root sign. > > Evince used to work flawlessly with groff 1.22.3 on Centos 6.6. I have no rendering problems using groff 1.22.4 with Evince or Okular on my Debian bullseye-based systems. Since that observation is likely not helpful to you, I am attaching the source I used, just in case; "grout" output; and PostScript. $ groff -e -mm -Z EXPERIMENTS/mcguckin.roff >| mcguckin.grout $ groff -e -mm EXPERIMENTS/mcguckin.roff >| mcguckin.ps You might first see if this PostScript file behaves differently; then, format my "grout" file with grops and check the result. I used to use Evince exclusively, but in bullseye it has a serious defect where the sidebar is no longer resizable, so I tend to use Okular these days. Regards, Branden
