I often read manpages using a `man -t whatever | ggv -' command, since
I like how it is rendered in PostScript. However, it turns out that
some things in the Git manpages don't really render very well using
that method. For example, in the git-rebase manpage, there are two
history graphs that look like this when reading the manpages normally
in a terminal:

It's a proportional font issue ...

Running "groff -Tps -f C -man $(man -w git-rebase) | ggv -" should display it correctly. (The "-f C" being the part the man doesn't do)

No idea how to make it use that font by default though ... not even sure if you can put that kind of information into a man page?
