I have a problem with troff2lj generating output that contains spaces where the character sequence fi should be. I am using the HP 'B' font cartridge instead of the 'K' cartridge specified in the documentation but the 'B' also contains TmsRmn 10 so I am assuming this is not the problem. The Laserjet is an old Laserjet I. Has anyone seen this? Thanks, -cliff

Turn 'em off. insert a .lg 0 into your file somewhere. -- Chris Lewis, R.H. Lathwell & Associates: Elegant Communications Inc.

Both 'fi' and 'ff' character sequences are eaten. This makes the word 'file' ' le' and 'efficient' becomes 'e icient'. I'm using a LaserJet IID with a Super Cartridge, which contains all the fonts I'm ever likely to use. Does someone have a solution to this problem? A patch? Some hints? Other than this small problem, I'm very impressed with the output produced by the LaserJet. -- Shawn Instenes UUCP:...!nosun!qiclab!redsun!shawni Senior Programmer, Research Dept., Portland (OR) Public Schools Disclaimer: PPS pays me for my work, not my opinions.
