these are some macros to be used with heirloom-troff. troff output can look rather nice, when the right fonts are used :)
first you need to have heirloom troff in your path. then to use these macros, set the TROFFMACS environment variable:
export TROFFMACS=$(pwd)/tmac/
if you also want to use the fonts included here, set:
export TROFFONTS=$(pwd)/fonts
and include this at the front of your document:
.lc_ctype de_DE.utf8
.fp 1 R EBGaramond12-Regular otf
.fp 2 I EBGaramond12-Italic otf
.fp 3 B EBGaramond12-SC otf
.fp 4 C ConsolaMono ttf
.fzoom C .80
note the slash at the end of TROFFMACS and the missing slash at the end of TROFFONTS. you can test your setup with the examples.
