This seems to be a groff bug. It's possible to convince the DVI device to produce better output by hacking ".mso ec.tmac" early enough into the data stream sent to groff, but I haven't worked out how to do it for PS or PDF yet. I'm prepared to consider the possibility that this is a bug in man-db nonetheless, but I don't know enough about how composite glyphs are supposed to work in these devices at this point, unfortunately ... -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
