[Groff] Diversion of formatted text

[Miklos Somogyi]

Hello all,

I try to use a diversion to determine the height of a block of text, so
that I can paint something underneath this block in PostScript.
The following simplified example works nicely if no-fill is turned on.

However, there are problems in fill mode.
Spaces inserted in the text disappear in print, though the height 
register
\n[.d] is ok (not used here).
Also, there are problems with with the bulleted paragraph macro.
Please change .nf to .fi and see the difference.

I would be glad if you could explain what's going on and how to fix the
problem.

Thanks,

Miklos

PS: Werner, I'm sorry for the delay, I haven't forgotten about the 
grops patch.
By the way, since you have installed the .device and .devicem things, 
how
can one get to use them?
