SGTM.

Can this be done by running Groff directly instead of via 'man'?  If it's
possible, it's IMO better, since Groff installations are more widespread
than the particular variant of 'man' you used in the script.  E.g., I think
the requirement for C.UTF-8 locale being available can be dropped in that
case.

But if doing so requires too much effort or research, feel free to install
what you have.

Thanks.
