a space between the greek glyphs when using the SS font. When eqn runs it is inserting \/ and \, around each of these greek characters which cause italic correction to be applied to each character. If you want slanted glyphs after you have prevented grops from using the SS font you could copy the relevant part from pdf.tmac to your own file. Cheers Deri

If the results of gs -h include the text %rom% I believe this means some files have been baked in, but you should talk to the ghostscript packager.

[bug #61407] [mom] Remove default error messages from mom-files.

2021-11-03 Thread Deri James
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #61407 (project groff): I believe the transparent node message occurs when pdf.tmac calls .asciify in order to "clean" the text to use in the bookmark text, and it includes nodes which can't be converted back text. Last time I looked this message could not be suppressed
