>Description:

	The command `man 5 groff_out' shows:

       The  names  of  characters  and  fonts  an be of arbitrary
       length; drivers should not assume that they will  be  only
       two characters long.

	I think that `an be' in the previous paragraph should be
	`can be'.

>How-To-Repeat:

	% man 5 groff_out

>Fix:

	Apply following patch to src/contrib/groff/man/groff_out.man
	(rev.1.1.1.1).
