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.
