To ilustrate, consider the input for troff .\".do xflag 3 .\".lc_ctype en_US.utf8 em-dash:? .br brackets, big delta, sqrt: .EQ left ( { ?? - sqrt 2 } over 5? right ) .EN which is then used with 9 eqn a | 9 troff | 9 tr2post | 9 psfonts > p9p.ps The screenshot of the result is attached in p9p.png. You see no em-dash, no big delta (tilde instead), the 1st half of the sqrt sign missing and the second half wrongly positioned. For comparison I supplied the same example, with uncommented fist two lines, to Heirloom troff: $HEIRLOOM/eqn a | $HEIRLOOM/troff | $HEIRLOOM/dpost > heirloom.ps and the respective result is attached in heirloom.png. In the heirloom case, the situation is better (em-dash, big delta, 1st part of the sqrt is there), however, the second part of the sqrt is still wrongly positioned. If anyone can help me out of this mess, I'd be grateful! Thank you Ruda -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
