looks correct with man -P.  i believe troff -N is not rendering this
as well as it could.  notice also that the →s become garbage
when rendered with troff -N.

indeed.  quite pretty with "man -P".  I also noticed that
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/6/authsrv
is rendered more-or-less correctly (spacing could be
nicer, but thats hardly worth complaining about).

so just the text rendered pages and uriel's website have
the rendering issue.

The authsrv(6) man page renders something wrong.  See
http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/6/authsrv or "plumb 'authsrv(6)'".
You'll notice the line:

    m}  message m encrypted with key K

the source says:

   .TP
   .IR K { m }
   message
   .I m
   encrypted with key
   .I K

Seems like it should be a simple fix; alas I'm ignorant when
it comes to nroff/troff.
