[Groff] Problem with italic correction in gxditview

[Robert Goulding]

(I may have accidentally unsubscribed myself - I sent this a couple of 
days ago and it didn't show up in my email.  Apologies if anyone has 
received this more than once).

I don't use gxditview very often, so I'm not sure how long this has 
been a problem.  I've attached a screenshot of gxditview being used as 
a previewer of an -ms document (latest CVS groff, on Apple OS X.3, with 
the standard X server which comes with X.3).  You see that italic 
letters follow the preceding roman letters too closely.  I've only 
noticed this with the X100-12 device selected (and the document is 
indeed in 12pt text); the spacing in X75-12 is fine, as it is in X100 
and X75 (and with -Tps).  Could this be a problem in how the font 
metrics for devX100-12 are generated?

Robert.
