Hi Deri, I just attempted to follow your advice and compile groff from scratch. I downloaded 1.22.4 and ran ./configure. I am a bit confused because ./configure warns me that I do not have URW fonts, but /usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/ is definitely not empty. ./configure does not respond well when

Hi Dave, there used to be a good tradition to collect these things in a dedicated directory aptly named contrib. Wouldn't it be a good idea to collect macros of this kind (and previous contributions to this list) in a contrib directory? Then they could be made available to everybody without caus
