Hello,
why does the X11 NetBSD.cf contain NroffCmd=-Tlatin1? Does any
manual page actually contain non-US characters?
We just tried to get rid of this to get rid of the 0xad at the end
of lines, where a ``-'' should have been. (see, for example,
PR port-amiga/7804).
With the X11 stuff, we get a totally missing character instead.
e.g., /mnt4/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/Xserver.0 contains:
X is the generic name for the X Window System display
server. It is frequently a link or a copy of the appro
priate server binary for driving the most frequently used
note the missing - at the end of the 2nd line. A hexdump shows that
there is no character there.
Relevant culprits:
1.1 (scottr 15-Mar-97): #define NeqnCmd neqn -Tlatin1
1.7 (mrg 01-Jul-97): #define NroffCmd nroff -Tlatin1
1.1 (scottr 15-Mar-97): #define EqnCmd eqn -Tps
1.1 (scottr 15-Mar-97): #define TroffCmd groff -Tps
