.P
Note that where one variable is implied by two options, the second option
takes precedence for that variable. (e.g. -A4 -y500).

In 
.B landscape 
mode, page width and height are simply swapped over before
formatting, no matter how or when they were defined.

.SH BUGS

Backspace character is not processed, so the result of
.ce
.B "nroff -man man.1 | text2pdf > man.pdf"
has not a very nice touch.
