[Bug 1008115] Re: man displays φ (u03C6) as ϕ (u03D5)

The problem was not related to PS output, it was a mapping bug from
Unicode character codes to groff entities.

This is fixed now in the CVS. Thanks for the report.

Title:
  man displays φ (u03C6) as ϕ (u03D5)

Status in “groff” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  While running `man help2man` I noticed that the Greek small letter Phi (u03C6) was displayed as Greek Phi symbol (u03D5) instead, e.g. like this:
  "που εμϕανίζονται στο αρχείο για να συμπεριληϕθούν"
  instead of this:
  "που εμφανίζονται στο αρχείο για να συμπεριληφθούν".

  `zcat /usr/share/man/el/man1/help2man.1.gz` vefiries that the problem
  is in `man` and not in the help2man manpage.

  Using man-db 2.6.1-2.
