### 4.1 Fonts and Faces

Fonts used by `roff` are handled by WoMan as faces, the details of which are customizable. See Faces. WoMan supports both the italic and bold fonts normally used in man pages, together with a single face to represent all unknown fonts (which are occasionally used in “non-standard” man pages, usually to represent a “typewriter” font) and a face to indicate additional symbols introduced by WoMan. This currently means the characters ^ and _ used to indicate super- and sub-scripts, which are not displayed well by WoMan.
