I'm using groff from the packages depot. But I reported to this list problems
with textblock and viewing Postscriptfiles with ghostview and gv for a while.

Here is my textfile and Makefile:


.nr Hy 1
.SA 1
.P

default:
        groff -Tps -k -K utf8 -mm -mden 2.mm > test.txt
        gv test.ps
print:
        lpr -Prp test.ps

I hope that I'm giving you more information about my situation in this case.

I thank you all for your help.
