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 -- To unsubscribe send an email to discuss+unsubscribe@mdocml.bsd.lv
