I mean it is not understandable that the repository is incosistent.  I want to 
download it and type make--that's it.  That he uses the best possible for 
documents on the web page is the best choice.  That the troff code is available 
somewhere would also be good.  But the way he packaged it is not ok in this 
special point.  There would have been possibilities with putting an .if around 
it or something else...

Of course not X11.  For the troff doc (from J. Osanna and BWK) I would suggest 
the traditional standard fonts.  For the other documents Pierre-Jean has an 
idea for a replacement.  Don't you agree with his proposal?
