Sorry, I don't have many. But for what it's worth, I think the problems I ran into were on machines that didn't actually have groff installed. HP-UX and Tru64 and AIX machines that tested on when I was testing the character conversion part of the stylesheet. > > [...] text is adjusted only to the left margin (because IMHO it's > > easier to read in console output than text adjusted to both margins > > and hyphenated). > > This is really a matter of taste.

I personally don't think the variation in line length in unhyphenated man pages looks very bad at all. (Most of us use mail clients that don't add hyphenation, but I don't see a lot of people complaining that it looks really bad). --Mike _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
