oh yes, compilation on CRUX-3 Linux succeeds without any problems,
the font listing is worked from top to bottom.

Now the only problem that remains for me is that

  $ ./configure --without-x --with-doc=examples; make

fails with error if `gnu.xpm' cannot be converted because of
missing tools.  I'm still the opinion that this is not acceptable
behaviour and that the `touch gnu.eps' should be automatic in such
cases (after a warning message).

Hoppla.

  address@hidden groff.git]$ printf '%s\n' foo '.pso sh -c \' ' \
    "echo -n a | tr a b"' bar |nroff -U | grep .
  foo ‐n b bar

 |  $ printf '%s\n' foo '.pso sh -c \' ' "echo -n a | tr a b; \' ' echo"' bar |

U-hu

  address@hidden groff.git]$ printf '%s\n' foo '.pso sh -c \' ' \
    "echo -n a | tr a b; \' ' echo"' bar |nroff -U | grep .
  foo ‐n b
  bar

Ok but allow me to think a bit about those.. until at least
tomorrow.  :)
Ciao
