pt a separate print job, it should do the cutting for you. Just give groff a sufficiently long page length for the longest ticket you expect. I have a Brother thermal printer which I use for labels, but it will take a continuous role instead, and I believe it has a proprietary EscP command for controlling the cutting, so there may be a solution using something similar.

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #62860 (project groff): What we know:- The filepaths in the built download file are correct. So gropdf must be reading a different download. The locations to search for the download file are hard-coded in line 59. After the path in GROFF_FONTPATH it looks in site-font.

opying those entries to site-font download fixed his problem. Gropdf is different, it takes into account all download files found, so there is no need to duplicate entries into the site-font download file. You could organise your fonts into separate families, each with its own separate download file just for that family, and then list the directories separated by a ":" in GROFF_FONT_PATH. Cheers Deri

ar device. The euro comes from the ninth glyph in the TR font, so it depends on the particular font encoding. The glyph numbering is specified in the file text.enc, so you can have your own glyph order if desired. So not really an oops, just not what you might have expected.
