I am a total novice.

No. I just used

        groff -ma4 -mm -rO2c -rW17c -fT -t -e -U -Tpdf guide > guide.pdf

Even adding the following options

        -dpaper=a4 -P-pa4

does. I think there is a miniscule difference in rendering the bar over
the top of a square root between the -Tps driver (as then translated by
ps2pdf) and the -Tpdf driver. But it could be my old eyes.

Thanks - Damian
