While it might be a bug that lp isn't treating a character-^H-character sequence as a bold character, you can get really nicely formatted output by using the postscript output from groff: In Panther, I use to print man pages using "man foo | lp". This got me a nicely formatted page (with pseudo bold headings etc). When I do this now under Tiger (10.4.1) I get double characters. Did something change? Anyone see this? FWIW, I see this on both 10.3.9 and 10.4.1 (doubled characters, no bold). Could this depend on the printer? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
