Re: man pages, font escape sequences, and font warnings (was: groff man(7), the PD macro, and compact lists)

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

  It makes no sense to warn about a font in the nroff mode (nroff) as only
different styles (R, I, B, BI) are present.

  Just do not report about such in nroff mode.

-.-

For my version of groff:

    src/roff/troff/env.cpp (select_font()): Do not send a warning in nroff
mode
    when a font cannot be selected
