Subject: man pages are littered with .ft C and others
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.1.00.0802021055180.21831@an.sumeria>

I do remember at one point the man pages looking correctly (just tested
v1.5.3.8 and it shows the same problem). Therefore it is probably
some package I'm missing on my system.

And now, I see this scattered all over:

For example:

      .ft C
      $ git checkout master             \fB(1)\fR
      $ git checkout master~2 Makefile  \fB(2)\fR
      $ rm -f hello.c
      $ git checkout hello.c            \fB(3)\fR
      .ft

Seems that "------------" and <n>, and a few others aren't being
translated. Note: I'm not at all familiar with the layout of man pages
so I have no idea how to fix it or even diagnose it further.
