Hi *,
When using \verbatim{stuff} or \tt{stuff} in an .azm file, the roff output
features
.nf \fC
stuff
.fi \fR
or
\fC stuff \fP
. It seems that's not valid roff; lots of details are available from
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?64594 'bug #64594: [troff] "warning:
cannot select font 'C'"' . Trying to select the 'C' font in roff source causes
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 \
MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 \
-Z man/uruk.8 >/dev/null
(or just
groff -t -e -mandoc -Tutf8 man/uruk.8
) to emit
troff:<standard input>:37: warning: cannot select font 'C'
; I've read (also in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?64594 ) it's
better to use
.EX
stuff
.EE
I believe changing the code around aephea/mac/aephea/base.zmm , line 118
116 {vq#1} {'\v{\1}'}
117 {m#1} {\@{\\fC}\1\@{\\fP}}
118 {tt#1} {\@{\\fC}\1\@{\\fP}}
119
120 {ftinc#2} {\@{\\s+\1}\2\@{\\s-\1}}
would be one way to fix it.
I've seen the warning emitted with man-db 2.12.1-2 and groff 1.23.0-5
(man-db 2.11.2 and groff 1.22.4 do _not_ emit the warning).
I didn't do all possible testing myself yet. Might get to it, one day.
Stijn/upstream (Bcc-d): what do you think?
Bye,
Joost
