Hrm, well, first off, you need to strip all the extra carriage returns (^M)
from the end of the lines.  Are you using a Windows editor? :)  Couple of other
points: .Fa is used to mark up function arguments and just takes the name of
the argument, not the type.  Also, to make translating manpages easier, each
sentence begins on a new line.  Thus you should do this:

This is one sentence.
This is another.

rather than:

This is one sentence.  This is another.

I hacked up some other parts of the manpage as well.  You can find the result
at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/printf.9.  There is a also a diff
(minus the ^M fix) in the same locaiton as printf9.diff.
