[Groff] PS printing - was Re: `Idot' vs. `Idotaccent'

[Michail Vidiassov]

Dear All,

let us run some survey.
Please, tell us, how do you use groff PS output.
Do you know how other people use it?
Is it really in use?
Do you use fonts supplied with groff or install your own font files?

Werner is now desiding what to consider the default font set for devps.

     Sincerely, Michail

Do you print groff PS output for any purposes but test?
But, on the other hand, may be you are printing more pages
created with grops then the rest of humanity.
Or at least more then all other members of the team of groff beta-testers.
Thus your argument is sufficient.
