Close, but not quite right.  groff is not being given the -T option to set the
output format, so it's producing the default, ps

 So I see stuff like this
 %!PS-Adobe-3.0
 %%Creator: groff version 1.22.2
 ...
 ...
 
 Using man to display the page works fine.
 
 When I use xman 1.1.2-1 the man page is also rendered correctly.
Thanks for reporting this problem, and the clear reproduction steps.

I can reproduce the problem, and bisecting points to this commit [1], which
changes the formatting command used by xman.

Yaakov,

Attached is trivial patch to fix.  If it looks good to you can you apply and
rebuild xman?

Problem with xman-1.1.3-1

[Doran Kangwai]

Hi,

When I use xman 1.1.3-1 to view man pages it renders the pages as
postscript. It seems to omit the step to process the PS.

So I see stuff like this
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: groff version 1.22.2
...
...

Using man to display the page works fine.

When I use xman 1.1.2-1 the man page is also rendered correctly.

Steps to repro
1)Install cygwin using setup-x86.exe (version 2.831).

I choose all of Base (Default)

and from X11
xinit
xman
xorg-server
xorg-server-common
xterm
X-start-menu-icons

2) Start-Cygwin-X-XWin Server

3) From xterm type xman -notopbox

4) Confirm xman version using Options-Show Version

5) Display man page for cat by Options-Display Directory and selecting cat

6) You should see postscript displayed for xman 1.1.3-1

I downloaded xman-1.2.2-1.tar.bz2 and using xman.exe from there I
confirmed that I can successfully see man pages.

cygcheck.out and XWin.0.log attached. Note that files contain
