Hi Ingo,

here are my results of your gracefull help:


perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LC_ALL = "de_DE.utf-8",
        LC_CTYPE = "de_DE.utf-8",
        LANG = "de_DE.utf-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.

GNU troff typesetter

Description:
GNU troff (Groff) is the GNU reimplementation of the traditional
general-purpose UNIX typesetting system, roff.

The groff distribution includes:
 * various macro packages including man, mdoc, ms, me, mm, and mom;
 * postprocessors for various output devices, including character
   terminals, X terminals, PostScript, HTML and XHTML, and TeX DVI;
 * and many utility programs.

And here is my edited configuration file for groff:


.\" Startup file for troff.
.
.\" This is tested by pic.
.nr 0p 0
.
.\" Load composite mappings.
.do mso composite.tmac
.
.\" Use .do here, so that it works with -C.
.\" The groff command defines the .X string if the -X option was given.
.ie r.X .do ds troffrc!ps Xps.tmac

.\" Handle paper formats.
.do mso papersize.tmac

But my result is a rugged right margin again.

This can I see on my printer and on previewer gv.

Do you have any comments?
