[G. Branden Robinson]

Update of bug #63067 (project groff):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

Hi Nikita,

I can confirm this defect without having to use a Cyrillic font, simply by
choosing (say) Helvetia as the default family.


$ cat EXPERIMENTS/novel.mm
.\" groff -mm
.fam H
.COVER
.TL
The Great American Novel
.AU "Erasmus B.\& Dragon"
.COVEND
.P
It was a dark and stormy night.


As a workaround, you can set the default family at the command line using the
`-f` option.


$ groff -mm -fH EXPERIMENTS/novel.mm >| novel.ps


This causes the default environment's font family to be Helvetica, so when new
environments are created later, they copy this setting instead of Times, to
which troff defaults at startup.

However, your fix is more robust.

Regards,
Branden
