In that event, I'm in way over my head. Suggestion, 'head' a file that works,
and one that doesn't from groff and compare. Pretty basic, but maybe groff
is stumbling somehow. Maybe there is an option to have it output postscript
level 2 instead of 3? Give me a sample cli, like using groff to print a man
page, and I'll see if it works here.
