I requested this to ja-groff-0.99's maintainer in March, but I cannot receive any responses from him. I am a originator of ja-groff-0.99's patch-ab. The patch-ab is a patch to unify appearance of space characters in formated texts. The purpose of this patch was to reduce jobs of jpman project members (English-Japanse translators of FreeBSD online manuals), by unifying appearances of space characters in formated texts even if usages of space characters in roff source texts are not unified. Today, we found that patch-ab causes some problems. For example, patch-ab corrupts ASCII pictures in Japanese online manuals. And we have more experiences to unify usages of space characters in roff source texts. So I believe that patch-ab is meaningless today. This is the reason of my request to remove ja-groff-0.99's patch-ab. >How-To-Repeat: <Code/input/activities to reproduce the problem (multiple lines)> >Fix: <How to correct or work around the problem, if known (multiple lines)> >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
