So we discovered that this change:
diff -r 6086ad8502ee sys/lib/postscript/prologues/dpost.ps
--- a/sys/lib/postscript/prologues/dpost.ps Fri Jan 15 19:32:02 2021 +0100
+++ b/sys/lib/postscript/prologues/dpost.ps Sun Jan 17 22:17:45 2021 +1300
@@ -188,1 +188,1 @@
- /radicalex [-50 0 500 0]
+ /radicalex [-50 0 500 1]
makes this:
; echo '.EQ
sqrt {g} = pi
.EN' | eqn | troff -ms | dpost | ps2pdf | page
work but have no idea why.
Making the changes suggested at:
B /sys/lib/postscript/prologues/dpost.ps:169,176
didn't help but changing that 0 to 1 (or anything else!)
seems to do the trick for whatever reason.
Any thoughts? or just push it?
Ethan → can confirm on a 5 page report that it fixes all instances of roots
I also checked man -t eqn | dpost | ps2pdf | page
