Re: [Groff] Blackboard Bold in Groff?

[Cedric Sodhi]

Hello Denis,

thank you. I'm worried about how Groff will (or rather: will not) embed
these extra fonts into the document. If I'm not mistaken Groff does not
embed ("bundle") fonts with dvi and ps. Or is that controller through a
command switch?

regards,
Cedric
