Hi Michael,
I just tried to print ascii(7) and found out the tables on the second
page (compact ascii in hex and dec) are screwed because they do not use
monospaced font. This is of course can not be seen on the terminal.
Attached patch (against man-pages-3.18) fixes that by adding the proper
.fn (code copy-pasted from the first table). I checked the result both
in the terminal and on printer.
Regards,
Kir.
