Package: perl-modules-5.36
Version: 5.36.0-7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

  wrong type size is created with, for example in gcc(1),

.ds C+ C\v'-.1v'\h'-1p'\s-2+\h'-1p'+\s0\v'.1v'\h'-1p'

combined with

\s-1ISO \*(C+\s0

#####

Do not use "\s0" in a string definition but an absolute number,
as the size of the string could be changed.
Then a situation of "\s-X...\s-Y...\s0...\s0" could emerge.
Type size changes have an effect in "groff", but not in "nroff".
