Well, if you can't show man pages, then you would have a problem with
reading the ones about the formatter for the man pages...
But the documentation for groff is in info pages anyway; the man pages
for it are only a secondary output of the info. Try "info groff".
I viewed the pages on another machine.
%man make.conf
Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'
Failed.
/usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file
/usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'
Looks like the fonts files are missing. Do you have the file
/usr/share/groff_font/devascii/DESC?
Yes the file exists. I copied groff, troff, grotty from another machine
replacing my local copies and now manpages work correctly.
