Hi everyone!
I was thinking about writing a few articles for Technically We Write
about fonts in groff. But I thought "This would be a great article for
someone else to write" so I wanted to suggest it here.
Here are two article ideas:
1. An article about how fonts work in groff (each is "mounted" to a
different font "position" number) and showing how to use different
fonts in a groff document. For example, to mount Helvetica Narrow
(HNR) to font position 5 (I think that's unused in -me) and set the
.sh and .uh fonts in -me to that:
.fp 5 HNR
.nr sf 5
2. How to convert a TrueType font and use them in groff documents. I
found this how-to article that seems to explain it pretty well, but I
haven't tried it yet:
http://www.port.de/cgi-bin/groff/AddingFonts
If anyone is interested in writing an article like this, let me know!
Jim
