Subject: Re: [TUHS] Groff on Windows (for PDF output)?
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 14:33:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202007231833.06NIXNs5069643@tahoe.cs.Dartmouth.EDU> (raw)
Echoing other answers, I regularly use groff in Cygwin.
If you're into Unix/Linux, Cygwin is a great tool with a
remarkably clean installation process. I use default
PostScript output by choice, because I can tinker with
PostScript but not with PDF. ps2pdf (available from
Cygwin) has always worked when I need PDF.
I must admit, tough, that this approach will be pretty
onerous if you do not want Cygwin for any other
reason. And I should add that PoscScript requires a
special viewer; I use gsview.
