That's not the only thing that could be fixed about magicpoint; however, fixing magicpoint is not a job for the fainthearted. The only time i used it so far (ironically, to present about mandoc), i ended up publishing the slides in plain HTML, with heavy manual postprocessing: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan11-mandoc-openbsd.html > Or extend mandoc to support Comic Sans so it can be used for > presentation slide decks! Actually, (g)roff is usable for preparing slides. As usual in the roff world, pick your favourite macro package. For example, here is one based on the mm macros: http://www.science.uva.nl/~bobd/useful/gpresent/ As much as i like mdoc(7) for formatting manuals, it's not an obvious choice for slides, and man(7) even less so. So you really need groff(1), mandoc(1) won't do. I'm not currently aware of any project to add mm(7) support to mandoc(1), let alone gpresent. In particular, it isn't on my TODO list at all.
