Info's man page reader has some disadvantages over man: in particular, it doesn't typeset as nicely on a terminal.
A cheap solution would be to allow info simply to run man to display man pages, rather than trying to display them itself. Although this leads to one command presenting me with two user interfaces, I don't find this a problem (I wrote a script to run info -w and, if it outputs *manpages*, to run man rather than info, and I find that the distinctive look of the man page or info manual puts my brain in the right mode.) Or, info's typesetting could be improved: the main problem is the lack of appropriate rendering of bold and italic text. The difference is easy to see in "info man" versus "man man". (Side note: the info-stnd manual doesn't contain this bug reporting address: to find that I had to read info's man page!) -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
