Findings: just run gxditview on your system and click

Thanks to Robert, Nate, Tadziu, Oliver, and Dale for the replies--I asked for help, and got it! I'll cover the good news first. Any system experiencing this problem can patch in a workaround (that I have already committed to groff Git's master branch) that requires only the editing of a text file

Can't embed eps image

missing -Tpdf

1.22.4, which I got via Cygwin, lacks -Tpdf, although the accompanying man page describes it. Is it perhaps an installation option that Cygwin didn't set? Doug

Re: missing -Tpdf

Cygwin did exclude gropdf and pdfgroff. "The accompanying man page" that I meant was groff.1. Perhaps that man page should say that not all groff distributions support pdf. On Sat, Jul 29, 2023 at 1:35 PM G. Branden Robinson wrote: > > Hi Doug, > > At 2023-07-29T13:00:13-0400, Douglas McIlroy wro
