>Description:
	Using the .Ic request inside a .Bd -literal request under mandoc
causes the document fonr to change from proportional to monospaced. THis
is only obvious when using the postscript output device, and not when
using nroff.
>How-To-Repeat:

# This is a shell archive.  Save it in a file, remove anything before
# this line, and then unpack it by entering "sh file".  Note, it may
# create directories; files and directories will be owned by you and
# have default permissions.
#
# This archive contains:
#
#	fontchange
#
echo x - fontchange
sed 's/^X//' >fontchange << 'END-of-fontchange'
XLorem ipsum dolor
X.Bd -literal
X.Ic foo
X.Ed
XLorem ipsum dolor
END-of-fontchange
exit

And run:

	groff -mdoc fontchange | gv -

>Fix:

	Use .Bd -unfilled for the short term workaround.

 Literal displays should never, ever have roff commands inside them.
