Hi everybody,
this is my first posting and i have a question about displaying a man-page
with "woman".
Woman shows strings like
.fi
.sp
.sp
.PP
for some pages. other work well. I wonder if i am missing some setting here
or if its my environemtn? I use emacs 24.3.1 from cygwin.

woman does not implement the complete nroff language used by manpages,
so sometimes it leaves such things, when the manpage uses a construct
which woman doesn't understand.
If you report them via M-x report-emacs-bug, someone might be able to
fix it.
