Re: Fonts?

Hi Kristaps,

> Which font do you suggest I use for the hard-coded font value?

Basically, i don't know anything about fonts and don't care
either, except that:

 * Please make sure to use something which is guaranteed to be
   available everywhere by default without requiring users to
   install anything, or if such stuff does not exist, use
   generic settings if feasible.  I will never feed any font-
   related arguments, options or parameters into mandoc and
   will never set up any font-related configuration files,
   and if mandoc ever asks me any questions about fonts or
   produces any font-related error messages, i will get
   really upset.

 * Please do not use anything fancy, neither from the point of
   view of design, nor from a technical point of view.  Just use
   the most standard and boring stuff you can find.

I would also suggest not to waste any time on fonts,
but of course that is your call.  I don't see the point of
making anything about fonts configurable.  We are not in
marketing, we are formatting manuals!

> Whatever's chosen, I'll need a suitable AFM for the WX value.

No idea what you are talking about.

Yours,
  Ingo
