[bug #66323] [mom] rendering differences between PostScript and PDF output?

[Peter Schaffter]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #66323 (group groff):

I'm finding this issue difficult because I am not sure we're working from
identical source files.  For the purposes of comparison, I'm attaching
good-clean.mom, the file I worked from.  I'm also attaching the results of
both
  pdfmom -Tps -Kutf8 -P-pa4 good-clean-mom > good-clean.ps
and
  pdfmom -Kutf8 -P-e good-clean.mom > good-clean.pdf
along with their respective ps and pdf files.  The family is T, not U-T,
because the URW fonts are not, by default, in font/devps.  (Why?)

The ps and pdf output look identical to me (remember: my eyes aren't
completely trustworthy right now owing to surgery).  The only difference
occurs on page 3, where the ps sensibly breaks the very long URL after
"References" but the pdf moves the whole thing to a new line.  I have
absolutely no idea why.  There is no difference in the way PDF_WWW_LINK passes
information to the processor.  The .cflags directive at the top of om.tmac
should guarantee that the URL can, if necessary, break at forward slashes. 
Why this works for ps but not pdf is beyond me.

That said, I'm almost certain that om.tmac itself has nothing to do with the
problems raised by this ticket.
