I mean it is not understandable that the repository is incosistent. I want to download it and type make--that's it. That he uses the best possible for documents on the web page is the best choice. That the troff code is available somewhere would also be good. But the way he packaged it is not ok in this special point. There would have been possibilities with putting an .if around it or something else... > All *roff programs I know are completely independent from X11 > and don't require it.

For the troff doc (from J. Osanna and BWK) I would suggest the traditional standard fonts. For the other documents Pierre-Jean has an idea for a replacement. Don't you agree with his proposal?
