Hi.
I had someone write me saying that when they processed a mom
file with groff 1.18.1 for PostScript output, the letters ACEI
(both upper and lower) were coming out as ] (i.e. as right square
brackets).
[snip]
Can someone explain why the .ps file sent to me has the text
in code, while the file I generated shows the text as text? And
why ACEI are coming out as brackets? Is it a font problem, a gs
problem, or a grops problem?
Thanks.
I would think your bug reporter is using some hacked version of groff
either with the Japanese or the Hangul patches; the fact that the output
is hex encoded is quite telling. If so, the problem can be anywhere, but
probably it is a bad interaction between the post processor output
(which assumes the fonts will be CJK *and* CID mapped) with a version of
gs with buggy CJK support (GNU gs 8.1 and the AFPL gs 8.4x betas are
much better in that regard).
