In my opinion I find the PostScript/PDF output from groff to be better than mandoc's, sorry Ingo :(. The font size and line spacing makes a better print, which makes sense considering that groff is a typesetting suite. The catch is that groff doesn't detect if eqn(1) or tbl(1) needs to be run for the man page, while mandoc does. You would need to use grog(1) for that.
Here are some example pdf's for the 6.4 version of man(1): https://www.sgregoratto.me/paste/man-groff.1.pdf $ groff -mandoc -T pdf /usr/share/man/man1/man.1 alternatively... $ grog -T pdf --run /usr/share/man/man1/man.1 https://www.sgregoratto.me/paste/man-mandoc.1.pdf $ mandoc -T pdf /usr/share/man/man1/man.1 alternatively... $ man -T pdf 1 man You should replace 'pdf' with 'ps' if you are using a PostScript printer. It's up to you to decide which one looks better. -- Stephen Gregoratto
