Package: imagemagick Version: 6:6.0.6.2-2.1 Followup-For: Bug #272573
Hi, in some man pages (e.g. ImageMagick), the dashes and single quotes are not really what they look like, but some other unicode letter. This has two major drawbacks: - search for options become nearly impossible (try searching for -m, without using -). - cut&paste doesn't work. (this has also the drawback that not all fonts have the said characters, but that's all right) Problem appears especially with UTF-8 charset, it's somehow addressed in /etc/groff/man.local but should be properly fixed as well. Asking on debian-devel, this seems to be the thing to do: > This is a bug in the manpages themselves. The unformatted source should > have - for hyphenating normal prose, as in "happy-go-lucky", and \- to > denote the minus signs used as characters on the command line and other > such places.
