Did you notice the a2ps example was missing the -t option to man? I don't believe it will yield the desired results as the text will be monospaced Courier. IMHO, a2ps-4.3 is lean and mean and just right for most things. The ELF binary is a whopping 23,848 bytes. The latest and greatest a2ps was about 1.5MB last time I looked. This sounds like a job for custom troff macros.
