Can't figure it out... Do you have the file /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac installed, and does it have the correct ownership and permissions so that the nroff user can access it? % ls -lad /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac /usr/share/tmac drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 1536 Sep 16 21:22 /usr/share/tmac/ -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5102 Sep 16 21:22 /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.t= mac If you have an up-to-date source tree there should be a copy in /usr/src/contrib/groff/tmac/tty-char.tmac If copying that into place doesn't work, then I'd recommend going through a complete {build,install}{world,kernel} cycle to make sure you've got everything that should be in the base system.
