<p><li>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).</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">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.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">This is an experimental change,
and feedback is welcome. </li></p></ul>
<p>tbl</p><ul>
<p><li>Added global option ‘nospaces’ to ignore
leading and trailing spaces in data items. </li></p></ul>
<p>grolbp</p><ul>
<p><li>The option −w (−−linewidth) has
been added (similar to other device drivers) to set the
default line width. </li></p></ul>
<p>grn</p><ul>
<p><li>Support for b-spline and Bezier curves has been
added. </li></p></ul>
<p>groffer</p><ul>
<p><li>New option −−shell to select the shell
under wich groffer shall run. </li></p></ul>
<p>Macro Packages</p><ul>
<p><li>The string ‘Am’ (producing an ampersand)
has been added to mdoc for compatibility with NetBSD.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>‘.IX’ is
now deprecated for mom; you should use ‘.IQ’
(Indent Quit) instead.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>In mom, new inlines
‘FWD’, ‘BCK’, ‘UP’, and
‘DOWN’ deal with horizontal and vertical
movements; please refer to contrib/mom/NEWS for more
details.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>New macro
ENDNOTES_HDRFTR_CENTER for mom to better control headers.
</li></p> </ul>
<p>Miscellaneous</p><ul>
<p><li>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.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Example:</p>
<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>papersize
/etc/papersize a4</tt></p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em"></li><li>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 dev<i>XXX</i>
subdirectory, e.g.</p>
<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>/usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devps/FOO</tt></p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">for a PostScript font definition
file FOO. </li></p></ul></td></tr></table><hr>
