Re: man package: patch _against_ <AD> at word breaks


Well, it's *almost* that simple <g>. Now that I've had a chance to look at
the groff man pages, if the -T is removed entirely, the default output device
for groff reverts to ps (Postscript). Sure enough, if I remove the -T entry
from the man.config, I get Postscript output.

However, if I simply change the -T from -Tlatin1 to -Tascii within the
man.config, then I get a normal ascii "dash" instead of the <AD>. This is
using US keyboard, US NT, etc., so YMMV.
