Ulrich,

I think mdoc.7 is approaching novella-length. ;-)

Yes, this is an italic-mode kerning issue.  It wobbled before, too, but 
it was harder to see as I was using a 10-point font.  Now the font's 
nicer and bigger, so the wobble is a bit more visible.

This fix won't come soon, as it both falls into the "optional" GSoC part 
and also because it's a bit devilish.  As you may see on tech@, the 
immediate focus right now is finishing `Bk' and pushing out this release 
that has nice -Tps (and block-breaking, and `Bk'-ing, and SYNOPSIS 
prettying, and so much more).

Note that I'm always looking for PS gurus to make sure my PostScript 
isn't going to make any printers barf!  So if you know any in FreeBSD, 
please send them my way.  Thusfar gv, gs, and ps2pdf don't complain, nor 
do the printers I spam in my office.

Thanks,

Kristaps
