With perl-podlators-6.0.2-520.fc43.noarch, pod2man's own man page and any man page it generates uses the font "CW" as fixed-font. With groff 1.24.0, this font is no longer recognized, thus causing troff warnings "cannot select font 'CW'": | $ man pod2man > /dev/null | troff:<standard input>:91: warning: cannot select font 'CW' | troff:<standard input>:96: warning: cannot select font 'CW' | troff:<standard input>:98: warning: cannot select font 'CW' | […] | troff:<standard input>:402: warning: cannot select font 'CW' | troff:<standard input>:403: warning: cannot select font 'CW' | troff:<standard input>:420: warning: cannot select font 'CW' | $ This bug (https://github.com/rra/podlators/issues/43) has been fixed upstream in podlators 6.1.0 by switching the default fixed-font to "CR" (https://github.com/rra/podlators/commit/e099fdf3fa07014e3df6a476242e2484b577c3d1). It would be nice if this patch could be backported to Fedora 43ff. Alternatively, this can be fixed in individual packages by amending the make variable POD2MAN, for example in the case of perl-podlators: | %build | perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor NO_PACKLIST=1 NO_PERLLOCAL=1 | -%{make_build} | +%{make_build} POD2MAN='$(POD2MAN_EXE) --fixed=CR' Reproducible: Always
