But the documentation for groff is in info pages anyway; the man pages for it are only a secondary output of the info. Try "info groff". > %man make.conf > Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file > /usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' > Failed. > /usr/bin/groff: can't find `DESC' file > /usr/bin/groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii' Looks like the fonts files are missing. Do you have the file /usr/share/groff_font/devascii/DESC?
