Any further update to that last sentence of yours? Is man-pages able to use that patch you sent?I have done nothing in this case, and I suppose that will wait until autumn or winter. A better solution is to simplify the footnote: See groff_char(7) (soft hyphen) and the standard ISO 8859-1 (shy) or the equivalent version from your national standardization body.
So, I applied the patch below. Okay? Cheers, Michael
