notice the problem with upstream groff and the fix is still valid and
correct:

groff (1.18.1.1-7) unstable; urgency=low

* Too many fonts are missing the Unicode HYPHEN character, so I give up. Render "-" as HYPHEN-MINUS (ASCII 0x2D) by default. (Of course, manual pages using "-" when they should be using "\-" should still be fixed.)

i see. is there an easy way for me on Ubuntu 7.04 (GNU groff version 1.18.1) to override this new default, so i can test the patch? it's pretty large, and it would be nice if i could grep for hyphens in the output (which i think should be pretty rare) and just check that they're intended ones.

ah, i see from the "apt-get source" diffs: i need to edit /etc/groff/ man.local to get the "normal" behavior.

okay, fix committed upstream.
