I am trying to prepare a document in Czech using troff. My procedure is the naive sam foo.ms troff -ms foo.ms | lp -dstdout >foo.ps Looking at foo.ps shows that characters in the unicode range 00** are specified as Times Roman while those in the range 01** are specified as LucidaSans01. Page dutifully displays them that way. This looks stupid, but page is just doing what it is told to do. Displaying foo.ps with gv on FreeBSD gives garbage, however. Is there a good way to produce postscript output with all the roman characters in the same font which will render properly on any reasonable postscript viewer? One of the things I tried while struggling with the problem above is troff -ms -Tpost I discovered that /lib/troff/fonts/devpost is missing. Apologies if I got the path wrong; I am not on a plan9 system right now. dev202 is also missing, but I doubt it will be much missed. -- John Stalker Department of Mathematics Princeton University (609)258-6469
