Hi,
The last table (decimal) rendering of ascii(7) is weird: the 3 and 6
lines not aligned correctly:
v v
3: # 3 C S c s 3: ! + 5 ? I S ] g q {
4: $ 4 D T d t 4: " , 6 @ J T ^ h r |
5: % 5 E U e u 5: # - 7 A K U _ i s }
6: & 6 F V f v 6: $ . 8 B L V ` j t ~
^
instead of:
3: # 3 C S c s 3: ! + 5 ? I S ] g q {
4: $ 4 D T d t 4: " , 6 @ J T ^ h r |
5: % 5 E U e u 5: # - 7 A K U _ i s }
6: & 6 F V f v 6: $ . 8 B L V ` j t ~
I can reproduce it on Wheezy and Sid for the French (from manpages-fr)
and German (from manpages-de) translations of ascii(7). The layout is
also broken when displaying it from its full path
(/usr/share/man/fr/man7/ascii.7.gz), but it displays fine after copying
the page to another place (e.g. to /tmp). Please find attach the diff
between the two debug output in case you notice something interesting
(I'd bet on the page_encoding, but am not aware of man internals).
Regards
David
