troff
- The non-slanted PostScript font definition files
have been regenerated to include left and right italic
correction values. Applying those to a glyph (this is,
prepending the glyph with `\,' and appending `\/' to the
glyph) sets the glyph width to the real value given by the
horizontal bounding box values. Without those escapes, the
advance width for the particular glyph is used (which can
differ considerably).
Most users will neither need
this feature nor notice a difference in existing documents
(provided \, and \/ is used as advertised, namely for italic
fonts only); its main goal is to improve image generation
with grohtml.
This is an experimental change,
and feedback is welcome.
tbl
- Added global option `nospaces' to ignore leading and
trailing spaces in data items.
grolbp
- The option -w (--linewidth) has been added (similar
to other device drivers) to set the default line width.
grn
- Support for b-spline and Bezier curves has been
added.
groffer
- New option --shell to select the shell under wich
groffer shall run.
Macro Packages
- The string `Am' (producing an ampersand) has been
added to mdoc for compatibility with NetBSD.
- `.IX' is now deprecated
for mom; you should use `.IQ' (Indent Quit) instead.
- In mom, new inlines
`FWD', `BCK', `UP', and `DOWN' deal with horizontal and
vertical movements; please refer to contrib/mom/NEWS for
more details.
- New macro
ENDNOTES_HDRFTR_CENTER for mom to better control headers.
Miscellaneous
- The `papersize' keyword in the DESC file now accepts
multiple arguments. It is scanned from left to the right,
and the first valid argument is used. This makes it possible
to provide a fallback paper size.
Example:
papersize
/etc/papersize a4
- A local font directory
has been prepended to the default font path; it defaults to
/usr/local/share/groff/site-font. Similar to the normal font
searching process, files must be placed into a devXXX
subdirectory, e.g.
/usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devps/FOO
for a PostScript font definition
file FOO. |
