5.3 Faces
=========
These options control the display faces that WoMan uses to format the
man page.
‘woman-fontify’
A boolean value. If non-‘nil’ then WoMan assumes that face support
is available. It defaults to a non-‘nil’ value if the display
supports either colors or different fonts.
‘woman-italic-face’
Face for italic font in man pages. Default: italic, underlined,
foreground red. This is overkill! ‘troff’ uses just italic;
‘nroff’ uses just underline. You should probably select either
italic or underline as you prefer, but not both, although italic
and underline work together perfectly well!
‘woman-bold-face’
Face for bold font in man pages. Default: bold, foreground blue.
‘woman-unknown-face’
Face for all unknown fonts in man pages. Default: foreground
brown. Brown is a good compromise: it is distinguishable from the
default but not enough so as to make font errors look terrible.
(Files that use non-standard fonts seem to do so badly or in
idiosyncratic ways!)
‘woman-addition-face’
Face for all additions made by WoMan to man pages. Default:
foreground orange.
