Does anyone know if the actual PS fonts are available somewhere? Or am I missing something? As per the Heirloom troff stuff - I tried porting Heirloom, but firstly, I like the ability to input UTF-8, otherwise I would just be using my own port of lout. If it were possible, I'd just like to patch the current troff we have with all the analogous changes that the Heirloom folks made. You can see from their code that it's a bunch of pieces tacked on to troff (at least from what I saw). But still, that's quite a bit of effort.
