Are you trying to imply that groff costs you more than Tex does?  If so, you
are incorrect.

Unless I am told otherwise, how TeX works with PostScript is pretty poor.  It
doesn't work with true scalable fonts.  You are stuck with particular sizes.
It is hard to add new fonts, etc.

I'm sure that I will be corrected, but this is what I understand about TeX.

If you want true PostScript, you need groff, not TeX.  I do lots of neat stuff
with groff and PostScript, stuff that I wouldn't even dream of doing with TeX.
