I'm using Emacs 21.3.1, and have noticed that from time to time, when I
use M-x man foo RET to get a man page, the man page is displayed along

pages! I'd rather it just displayed the man page I have installed, or gave
an error if it didn't exist.


(Are you joking?  There's no smiley in your message, so I guess you're not.)


That message is displayed by the Man-fontify-manpage function, whose doc
string says:

| Convert overstriking and underlining to the correct fonts.
| Same for the ANSI bold and normal escape sequences.


"Make up" is used here in the publishing sense: converting markup into
presentation.
