Isn't groff's eqn meant to cope poorly with ASCII output? If it helps
decide, here's AIX 3.2.5's output, i.e. troff not groff.
$ eqn <k | nroff | col -b | cat -S
( )
| 0 0 |
| ______ 0 0 |
| aspect f 0 ____________ |
| 0 0 __________ zNear-zFar |
| 0 zNear-zFar 0 |
| 0 0 -1 |
( )
So it seems like it isn't the man page that's the problem.
Cheers,
Ralph.
