<para>These devices are used by Man-DB when formatting non-English manual

</note>

<para>Many screen fonts don't have Unicode single quotes and dashes in them.
|

Tell Groff to use the ASCII equivalents instead:</para>

<para>Groff expects the environment variable <envar>PAGE</envar> to

|
contain the default paper size. For users in the United States,
|
|
<parameter>PAGE=letter</parameter> is appropriate. Elsewhere,
|
|
<parameter>PAGE=A4</parameter> may be more suitable. While the default
|
|
paper size is configured during compilation, it can be overridden later
|

by echoing either <quote>A4</quote> or <quote>letter</quote> to the

<filename>/etc/papersize</filename> file.</para>
