Bug ID: 2537126
Summary: pod2man uses obsolete fixed-font, causing troff
warnings
Product: Fedora
Version: 43
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: perl-podlators
Severity: low
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
With perl-podlators-6.0.2-520.fc43.noarch, pod2man's own man page and any man
page it generates uses the font "CW" as fixed-font. With groff 1.24.0, this
font is no longer recognized, thus causing troff warnings "cannot select font
'CW'":
| $ man pod2man > /dev/null
| troff:<standard input>:91: warning: cannot select font 'CW'
| troff:<standard input>:96: warning: cannot select font 'CW'
| troff:<standard input>:98: warning: cannot select font 'CW'
| […]
| troff:<standard input>:402: warning: cannot select font 'CW'
| troff:<standard input>:403: warning: cannot select font 'CW'
| troff:<standard input>:420: warning: cannot select font 'CW'
| $
This bug (https://github.com/rra/podlators/issues/43) has been fixed upstream
in podlators 6.1.0 by switching the default fixed-font to "CR"
(https://github.com/rra/podlators/commit/e099fdf3fa07014e3df6a476242e2484b577c3d1).
It would be nice if this patch could be backported to Fedora 43ff.
Alternatively, this can be fixed in individual packages by amending the make
variable POD2MAN, for example in the case of perl-podlators:
| %build
| perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor NO_PACKLIST=1 NO_PERLLOCAL=1
| -%{make_build}
| +%{make_build} POD2MAN='$(POD2MAN_EXE) --fixed=CR'
Reproducible: Always
