• Subject: groff on sarge
• Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 17:59:21 +0100

I had to completely reinstall my system after a crash and directly installed sarge from the net.
After all the configurations I had to export a texmacs file to pdf... and I was getting the ancient pre True Type fuzzy output. So I went to the messagges starting texmacs with --debug option and discovered that my installation was missing the groff package where the program pfbtops resides...
Well now at list with true type fonts the output was better...
I guess it should be in the dependencies...
I installed texmacs from the unstable tree with apt-get install texmacs....
if in fact i run apt-showpkg texmacs I get the following

And there is no line for groff.....
After installing groff things went better.
I guess If I am still missing something because the pdf output was really better before the crash... (or it is my wrong remembering) now fonts looks like passed through a gaussian blur...
Anyway it is highly acceptable now and I hoep this can help some one else in the same situation
THank you
Luca
THank you and hope this
