Ah, yes, but then the GNU Troff (groff) package gives you additional
tools, especially "pic". Also, the new release of groff adheres to the
version 3 of the Document Structuring Conventions, includes a
previewer for X11, etc, etc. Groff works nicely with 2-up printing
tools, too.

True, you'll need quite a bit of disk space to compile these tools,
but once compiled they don't take up that much space. 

Recommended.
