Subject: A typesetting problem with git man pages
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 21:16:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87skqfus7v.fsf@iki.fi> (raw)
I compile git and its man pages myself and I just noticed that the man
pages (invoked with "git help log", for example) have a typesetting
problem. There are ".ft" commands here and there, like this:
.ft C
[i18n]
commitencoding = ISO-8859-1
.ft
Does anybody know why "man" prints those ".ft" commands? The
corresponding code in git-log.1 file is this:
\&.ft C
[i18n]
commitencoding = ISO\-8859\-1
\&.ft
Recently I upgraded my system from Debian 4.0 (Etch) to 5.0 (Lenny) and
it is possible that some tools which are related to compiling the man
pages are now newer versions.
