Originally \(pl and \(mi came from a fixed font (S) while + and \-
came from the current font. As I understand your comment, groff
has reversed this troff convention. Additionally groff interprets - as
a compromise HYPHEN-MINUS.
man groff_char, however, tells the original state of affairs. What is
one to believe?
