Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : FreeBSD 4.2

Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
I have been looking over the PostgreSQL manual pages and have noted a
number of formatting problems. Unfortunately, as the DocBook source
code does not seem to be in the distribution, I have no way of knowing
where these problems originated. In any case, here is a summary:
createdb.1, createlang.1, createuser.1, dropdb.1, droplang.1, etc.
In many places where code and output examples are being given, the
font used is proportional. If a monospace font were used, the code
would stand out better and the output would line up correctly.
droplang.1, dropuser.1, etc.
There is insufficient consistentcy to the NAME entries. For instance:
droplang - Remove a programming language from a Postgres database
dropuser - Drops (removes) a Postgres user
Why not settle on either "Removes/Drops" or "Remove/Drop"?
pg_restore.1
In the NAME entry, there is a missing space in "created bypg_dump".
alter_group.l
In the NAME entry, the comma should be a semi-colon: "group; remove".
fetch.l
In the NAME entry, there should be a comma: "rows, using".
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:

Print the referenced manual pages, using "groff -man"
