fix for ascii.7

fix for ascii.7

[Werner LEMBERG]

[man-pages.git c6cefe27dd02beaf518bb654493e5f09e62b3225]


The patch below prevents groff from converting two consecutive spaces
to a single one after end-of-sentence characters in the ASCII
character table if frenchspacing is active (this is the default for
German, for example, thus affecting the German translation of
`ascii.7`, where I noticed the problem).

Maybe other pseudo-tables (i.e., tables not generated by `tbl`) are
affected in a similar way.

Thanks!  I've transformed this into a git patch, and applied it.


Have a lovely night!
