[groff] Fonts, PDF images, groff vs. heirloom troff

[Richard Morse]

Hi! I’m working on a project where I want to use troff to create PDFs. I want 
to use some particular OpenType features (in particular, a bunch of smart 
kerning and character substitutions), but I also want to embed PDF images into 
the final PDF.

What I’ve discovered is that GNUs groff does not seem to handle fonts in any 
useful way, but Heirloom troff can’t manage PDF images.

Is there some other option available that can do both of these?

Thanks,
Ricky
