- troff: support `\~` as an alias for `\ ` (#567) In groff, Heirloom Doctools troff, and neatroff, the `\~` escape sequence produces an adjustable (paddable) but unbreakable space. mandoc, which does not perform adjustment or render to typesetters, supports the escape sequence as a synonym for `\ `, the same as `\0`. This extension is of long pedigree: groff has supported it for at least 30 years, Heirloom for 17, mandoc for 13, and neatroff for 6. Do the same as mandoc to prevent mis-rendering of documents using this escape sequence. Heirloom Doctools troff, a descendant of Documenter's Workbench troff, would be a good place to look for a compatible implementation of the adjustable semantics for this sequence.

These fonts are converted from the BDFs in the XFree86 distribution. They were all marked as public domain. They're ugly, but support more languages than the standard fonts. Mainly they're useful for scavenging. ../lucm/unicode.9.font and ../pelm/unicode.9.font, for example, have been extended with glyphs from here. Russ Cox
