Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Warnings from "nroff" (in "man").

###

  Fix warnings from "nroff/groff":

<standard input>:540: warning [p 8, 2.8i]: can't break line
<standard input>:586: warning [p 8, 10.3i, div `an-div', 0.0i]: can't break line

  Change <number>-<number> to <number>\(en<number> if it is
a numeric range

  Protect . if not end of sentence

  Protect an aphostrophe (', 0x27), if it can become a control character

  Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a minus (\-), if in front of a name
for an option.

  Split long lines (> 80).

  Adjust space between sentences or protect the indicator.

###

  Not changed:

  Use a macro to change to italic font

  The patch is in the attachment.

I have included portions of this in the upstream MR:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1875

The first line too long fix cannot be applied upstream as the upstream source
substitutes the font path at build time, so it doesn't appear expanded
as it does in this patch.

The second line too long issue was already handled by a previous commit in
this MR.
