Bug#401944: libx11-dev: XDrawArc man page maths come out bad on tty
Package: libx11-dev
Version: 2:1.0.3-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/man/man3/XDrawArc.3.gz
On a tty, the eqn math bits in "man XDrawArc" come out looking like
[x+wi2th,y+hei2ht]
or
2n for normal-angle in the range [32,2n]
which makes it pretty hard to understand.
Apparently gnu eqn and/or nroff aren't interested in trying to render
maths on a tty. It'd be nice if XDrawArc could have alternative bits
(".ie n" conditions) that come out better, "[x+width/2,y+height/2]"
and "[3*pi/2,2*pi]" etc.
