<p>troff</p><ul>

<p><li>Input encoding files for latin-9 (a.k.a. latin-0 and
ISO 8859-15) and latin-2 (ISO 8859-2) have been added.
Example use:</p>

<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>groff -Tdvi
-mlatin9 my_file &gt; my_file.dvi</tt></p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">You still need proper fonts with
the necessary glyphs. Out of the box, the groff package
supports latin-9 only for &minus;Tps, &minus;Tdvi, and
&minus;Tutf8, and latin-2 only for &minus;Tdvi and
&minus;Tutf8.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>Composite glyphs are
now supported. To do this, a subset of the Adobe Glyph List
(AGL) Algorithm as described in
<a href="http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/opentype/index_glyph.html">http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/opentype/index_glyph.html</a>
is used to construct glyph names based on Unicode character
codes. The existing groff glyph names are frozen; no glyph
names which can&rsquo;t be constructed algorithmically will
be added in the future.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">The \[...] escape sequence has
been extended to specify multiple glyph components.
Example:</p>

<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>\[A
ho]</tt></p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">this accesses a glyph with the
name &lsquo;u0041_0328&rsquo;.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">Some groff glyphs which are
useful as composites map to &lsquo;wrong&rsquo; Unicode code
points. For example, &lsquo;ho&rsquo; maps to U+02DB which
is a spacing ogonek, whereas a non-spacing ogonek U+0328 is
needed for composite glyphs. The new request</p>

<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>.composite
from to</tt></p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">changes the mapping while a
composite glyph name is constructed. To make \[A&nbsp;ho]
yield the expected result,</p>

<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>.composite
ho u0328</tt></p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">is needed. [The new file
&lsquo;composite.tmac&rsquo; loaded at start-up already
contains proper calls to &lsquo;.composite&rsquo;.]</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">Please refer to the info pages
of groff and to the groff_char man page for more
details.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>A new request
&lsquo;fschar&rsquo; has been added to define font-specific
fallback characters. They are searched after the list of
fonts declared with the &lsquo;fspecial&rsquo; request but
before the list of fonts declared with
&lsquo;special&rsquo;.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>Fallback characters
defined with &lsquo;fschar&rsquo; can be removed with the
new &lsquo;rfschar&rsquo; request.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>A new request
&lsquo;schar&rsquo; has been added to define global fallback
characters. They are searched after the list of fonts
declared with the &lsquo;special&rsquo; request but before
the already mounted special fonts.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>In groff versions 1.18
and 1.18.1, \D&rsquo;f&nbsp;...&rsquo; didn&rsquo;t move the
current point horizontally. Despite of being silly, this
change has been reverted for backwards compatibility.
Consequently, the intermediate output command
&lsquo;Df&rsquo; also moves the position horizontally
again.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">\D&rsquo;f&nbsp;...&rsquo; is
deprecated since it depends on the horizontal resolution of
the output device (given with the &lsquo;hor&rsquo;
parameter in the DESC file). Use the new
\D&rsquo;Fg&nbsp;...&rsquo; escape instead.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>For orthogonality, new
\D subcommands to change the fill color are available:</p>

<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>\D&rsquo;Fr
...&rsquo;</tt> (rgb) <tt><br>
\D&rsquo;Fc ...&rsquo;</tt> (cmy) <tt><br>
\D&rsquo;Fg ...&rsquo;</tt> (gray) <tt><br>
\D&rsquo;Fk ...&rsquo;</tt> (cmyk) <tt><br>
\D&rsquo;Fd&rsquo;</tt> (default color)</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">The arguments are the same as
with the &lsquo;defcolor&rsquo; request. The current
position is <i>not</i> changed.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The values set with \H
and \S are now available in number registers \n[.height] and
\n[.slant], respectively.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The &lsquo;.pe&rsquo;
number register isn&rsquo;t new but hasn&rsquo;t been
documented before. It is set to&nbsp;1 during a page
ejection caused by the &lsquo;bp&rsquo; request.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The new glyph symbol
&lsquo;tno&rsquo; is a textual variant of
&lsquo;no&rsquo;.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The new glyph symbol
&lsquo;+e&rsquo; represents U+03F5, GREEK LUNATE EPSILON
SYMBOL. (Well, it is not really new since it has been
previously supported by grolj4.) The mapping for both the
dvi and lj4 symbol font has been changed accordingly so that
Greek small letter epsilon, &lsquo;*e&rsquo;, has the same
glyph shape as with other devices. </li></p></ul>

<p>grops</p><ul>

<p><li>The font &lsquo;freeeuro.pfa&rsquo; has been added
to provide various default glyph shapes for &lsquo;eu&rsquo;
and &lsquo;Eu&rsquo;.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>It is now possible to
access all glyphs in a Type&nbsp;1 font, not only 256
(provided the font file created by afmtodit has proper
entries). grops constructs additional encoding vectors on
the fly if necessary.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The paper size is now
emitted via the %%DocumentMedia and PageSize mechanisms so
that it is no longer required to tell &lsquo;gv&rsquo; or
&lsquo;ps2pdf&rsquo; about the paper size. The
&lsquo;broken&rsquo; flag value&nbsp;16 omits this feature
(the used PostScript command &lsquo;setpagedevice&rsquo; is
a LanguageLevel&nbsp;2 extension). Patch by
<a href="mailto:egil@kvaleberg.no">Egil Kvaleberg</a>.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>Non-slanted PostScript
metrics have been changed again; they no longer contain
negative left italic correction values. This assures correct
spacing with eqn. </li></p></ul>

<p>grodvi</p><ul>

<p><li>The font cmtex10 has been added as the special font
&lsquo;SC&rsquo; to the DVI fonts. It is used as a
font-specific special font for CW and CWI.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>New options &minus;l
and &minus;p to set landscape orientation and the paper
size. grodvi now emits a &lsquo;papersize&rsquo; special
which is understood by DVI drivers like dvips.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">Consequently, the DESC file
should contain a &lsquo;papersize&rsquo; keyword.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The glyph shapes for
\[*f] and \[*e] have been exchanged with \[+f] and \[+e],
respectively, to be in sync with all other devices.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>Glyphs \[HE] and \[DI]
have been replaced with \[u2662] and \[u2661], respectively,
since the former two glyphs have a black (filled) shape
which grodvi doesn&rsquo;t provide by default (it never has
actually). </li></p></ul>

<p>grolj4</p><ul>

<p><li>The glyphs \[*e] and \[+e] have been exchanged to be
in sync with all other devices.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The glyph \[~=] is now
called \[|=]. Similar to other devices, \[~=] is now another
name for glyph \[~~]. </li></p></ul>

<p>grotty</p><ul>

<p><li>New option &lsquo;&minus;r&rsquo;. It is similar to
the &minus;i option except it tells grotty to use the
&lsquo;reverse video&rsquo; attribute to render italic
fonts. </li></p></ul>

<p>pic</p><ul>

<p><li>New command &lsquo;figname&rsquo; to set the name of
a picture&rsquo;s output box in TeX mode. </li></p></ul>

<p>refer</p><ul>

<p><li>The environment variable &lsquo;REFER&rsquo; to
override the name of the default database isn&rsquo;t new
but hasn&rsquo;t been documented before. </li></p></ul>

<p>soelim</p><ul>

<p><li>New option &lsquo;&minus;r&rsquo; to avoid emission
of &lsquo;.lf&rsquo; lines.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>New option
&lsquo;&minus;t&rsquo; to emit TeX comment lines (giving
current file and the line number) instead of
&lsquo;.lf&rsquo; lines. </li></p></ul>

<p>afmtodit</p><ul>

<p><li>Unencoded glyphs in an AFM file are output also
(since grops can now emit multiple encoding vectors for a
single font).</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>New option
&lsquo;&minus;m&rsquo; to prevent negative left italic
correction values.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The mapping and
encoding file together with file &lsquo;DESC&rsquo; are now
searched in the default font directory also. Please refer to
the man page of afmtodit for more details. </li></p></ul>

<p>macro packages</p><ul>

<p><li><a href="mailto:kollar@alltel.net">Larry Kollar</a>
and others made the man macros more customizable.</p><ul>

<p><li>New command line options &minus;rFT, &minus;rIN, and
&minus;rSN to set the vertical location of the footer line,
the body text indentation, and the sub-subheading
indentation.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>New command line option
&minus;rHY (similar to the ms macros) to control
hyphenation.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>New macros
&lsquo;.PT&rsquo; and &lsquo;.BT&rsquo; to print the header
and footer strings. They can be replaced with a customized
version in &lsquo;man.local&rsquo;.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>The string
&lsquo;HF&rsquo; now holds the typeface to print headings
and subheadings.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>Similar to the ms
macros, the LT register now defaults to LL if not explicitly
specified on the command line. </li></p></ul>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>troff&rsquo;s start-up
file &lsquo;troffrc&rsquo; now includes
&lsquo;papersize.tmac&rsquo; to set the paper size with the
command line option &lsquo;-dpaper=&lt;size&gt;&rsquo;.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">Possible values for
&lsquo;&lt;size&gt;&rsquo; are the same as the predefined
&lsquo;papersize&rsquo; values in the DESC file (only
lowercase; see the groff_font man page) except a7-d7. An
appended &lsquo;l&rsquo; (ell) character denotes landscape
orientation. Examples: &lsquo;a4&rsquo;, &lsquo;c3l&rsquo;,
&lsquo;letterl&rsquo;.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">Most output drivers need
additional command line switches &lsquo;&minus;p&rsquo; and
&lsquo;&minus;l&rsquo; to override the default paper length
and orientation as set in the driver specific DESC file.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em">For example, use the following
for PS output on A4 paper in landscape orientation:</p>

<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>groff -Tps
-dpaper=a4l -P-pa4 -P-l -ms foo.ms &gt; foo.ps</tt></p>
