Title:
  troff: warning: cannot select font 'C' when viewing man page

Status in unzip package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in unzip source package in Mantic:
  Confirmed
Status in unzip source package in Noble:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When viewing any man page the following warning is displayed:
  troff: warning: cannot select font 'C'

  Run any of the following commands to see the warnings yourself:
  $ man funzip > /dev/null
  $ man unzip > /dev/null
  $ man unzipsfx > /dev/null
  $ man zipgrep > /dev/null
  $ man zipinfo > /dev/null

  This is a new warning. Other projects replaced the \fC directives with
  nothing, as it is currently a no-op.

  Context: \fC sets the font to a monospace font. The terminal can not
  change the font to any other font than a monospace font. Therefore
  removing the \C directives should result in no visual change.

  I already prepare a patch.
