Subject: [9fans] unexpected tabs in man pages after font change

Hi, I've just installed a compact sans font (from
http://input.fontbureau.com/ ) and manual pages started to look broken.
As you can see in the screenshot (man 2 control), there are white spaces
that looks like tabs in the middle of the text with apparently no reason.
Even in the troff source (why the hell we still use troff for manual pages?
:-D) I can see no command that explain this behaviour.
Any tip to fix them?
Giacomo
