Christian, there is no error in the source of the xorg.conf(5) manual page. groff is a typesetting language with its own syntax that you need to know if you intend to read the source directly. At the top of the page it declares:
.\" shorthand for double quote that works everywhere. .ds q \N'34' This causes groff to replace \*q with \N'34' whenever it sees it, which in turn expands to the ASCII " symbol. (It would be more usual to use the predefined \(dq named character instead, but I suspect yelp might have trouble with that too so who cares.) There is no character set problem here, nothing to do with complicated encoding matters or anything; the problem is simply that yelp doesn't use man or groff to format manual pages and instead tries to do it itself. Naturally it gets it wrong from time to time. This is a fundamental design error in yelp and the best that can probably be done in the short term is to crudely patch around it. -- manpage rendered wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
