troff and latin2, devpost

[Pavel Klinkovsky]

I am a newbie in the troff world.
Trying to make a document in Czech I discovered a strange font
problem.

Searching in 9fans archive I found this topic already present, but
without useful (at least for me) feedback-hint:
http://9fans.net/archive/2004/03/1548

Can anyone provide me a help?

Thanks in advance.

Problem #1 - letters missing on other systems:
Add |addpsfonts to your pipeline to create a PS with
the local fonts added.

Problem #2 - half Times-Roman, half Lucida Sans documents:
Since only the Lucida fonts have the characters you want,
the solution is to write the whole document in Lucida.
If you are using -ms macros, add

.FP lucidasans

to the top of your document. If you are not using -ms macros
you can use the equivalent but longer

.fp 1 R LucidaSans
.fp 2 I LucidaSansI
.fp 3 B LucidaSansB
.fp 5 CW LucidaCW

Yes, since I did not find any other way how to solve it, I am using
Lucida.

On the other hand, Times-Roman is more pleasant to read (especially
longer documents)...

Thanks.
