[bug #55215] [PATCH] gpinyin.1.man: Unknown characters and failed adjustment

[G. Branden Robinson]

Update of bug #55215 (project groff):

                  Status:               Need Info => In Progress            
             Assigned to:                    None => gbranden

Follow-up Comment #3:

I propose to resolve this problem by having the page simply not render the
tone table if the output device is incapable of doing so.

This is much simpler than the patch Bjarni suggested.
