Shouldn't this be MANROFFOPT="-P -c"? $ groff --help | head -n 1 usage: groff [-abcCeEgGijklNpRsStUVXzZ] [-d ctext] [-d string=text] [-D fallback-encoding] [-f font-family] [-F font-directory] [-I inclusion-directory] [-K input-encoding] [-L spooler-argument] [-m macro-package] [-M macro-directory] [-n page-number] [-o page-list] [-P postprocessor-argument] [-r cnumeric-expression] [-r register=numeric-expression] [-T output-device] [-w warning-category] [-W warning-category] [file ...] (I reflowed by that hand; groff does not run groff to format its own usage message.) If I do _this_, by contrast: $ MANROFFOPT="-P -i" man man I get man(1)'s own man page using real italics in my xterm. > Thanks for that tip, Ronan.

Just keep in mind that other output drivers don't recognize '-c' (or '-i' for that matter), so if you ever use man(1)'s '-T' option to format for a non-terminal device, you will get complaints. And if you say you never do that, I will cry, but will understand. Regards, Branden
