I've been writing a man page and wanted to see how it looks when formatted with troff and printed, so I tried: troff -man <file> | dpost | lp only to find that the printout was extremely ugly. Words seem to have run together in some very strange ways; if I had a scanner handy I could show what I mean. Anyway, the same thing happens when I do: troff -man /sys/man/1/cat | dpost | lp but not when I do: troff -ms /sys/doc/asm.ms | dpost | lp
Am I missing something simple and fundamental, or is troff/dpost just broken? John
