thank you very much indeed. the fonts i wanted luckily qualified (OCR A
extended and Squarish Sans). just a note on the script which seems very
old; back-ticks (`) are deprecated and also mkdir could use -p. first run
failed for me but that's probably because groff in on my system
(gentoo-linux) is installed under /usr as opposed to /usr/local. although
if you're going to call chmod later i suppose you could use `install'.

back to groff itself, i mentioned OCR because i was wondering if i could
make groff to show every digit in my document using OCR? this would be
really cool! i think.
