Fonts and Faces
===============

Fonts used by `ROFF' are handled by WoMan as faces, the details of
which are customizable.  Note: Faces.  WoMan supports both the
italic and bold fonts normally used in man pages, together with a single
face to represent all unknown fonts (which are occasionally used in
"non-standard" man pages, usually to represent a "typewriter" font) and
a face to indicate additional symbols introduced by WoMan.  This
currently means the characters ^ and _ used to indicate super- and
sub-scripts, which are not displayed well by WoMan.
