Hello,
I'm using F7 (64-bit) and a2ps version 4.13b-65. I tried to print out
the 'visudo' man page on a postscript printer using the command:
man visudo | a2ps -=lp -m
The man page was printed, but some parts of it were incorrect. Where the
man page shows on my PC:
digits, and the underscore (’_’) character.
The printed man page has:
digits, and the underscore (aM-^@M-^Y_aM-^@M-^Y) character.
The 'a' in each case actually has a caret ('^') over it. Sending the
a2ps output to a postscript file shows that the postscript has the same
'aM-^@M...' in it.
Other parts of this man page, and other man pages, also have odd
characters in it, so it's not just this one piece of the man page that
is causing a problem.
Does anyone know how I can get the correct man page output? Obviously
the man page itself is okay since it shows on my PC correctly. Whether
a2ps is the problem, or perhaps nroff/groff or whatver it uses to handle
the man page, I don't know.
Thanks,
John.
