Typically you get this error messages when running troff without the "-Txxx" option (for example "-Talw when working with an Apple LaserWriter). When omitting "-Txxx", ditroff assumes to produce output for an Autologic idonotknowwhatnumber typesetter (== "-Taps" which is default). You have to have the font descriptions for your PostScript printer (generated by makedev) installed in /usr/lib/font/devxxx to make ditroff rum properly with the -Txxx option. I hope this will help you solving your problems, Andy -- Andreas Lampen, TU Berlin UUCP: andy@coma (unido!coma!andy) BITNET: andy@db0tui62
