[I'm not a wizard, so please be gentle]

Does anyone know if the following behaviour is a ditroff feature or a
bug?  If it is a bug, is there a known fix.

I set up a ditroff device, giving it a DESC file which looks like:

	# Flakey DITroff Description file
	fonts 6 R I B CW S M
	sizes 12 0
	unitwidth 12
	res 60
	hor 6
	vert 5 ...

I expected that this would allow horizontal montion only in multiples
of 6 basic units.  However I discovered that this makes the MINIMAL
horizontal motion be 6 units, but anything (like 8 or 13) greater than
6 will also be generated.  What I wanted was different horizontal and
vertical resolutions.

Is it possible to specify different horizontal and vertical
resolutions, like one can for nroff devices?

Thanks,
