Hi all,

I prepared the new version of groff-1.20.1 for Factory to upgrade from ancient 
and not supported 1.18.1.1. Because the biggest reason for having this old 
version was a big debian patch adds the Japanese support, it blocked all 
updates.

But this version of groff has the support of those encodings included using 
new prepocessor preconv, which replaces non-ascii characters byt unicode 
sequences, which nroff now can handle. That means iconv hack is no longer 
required.

Packages are available on 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mvyskocil:/branches:/M17N/

The bug report tracking the update is
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633128

Please use it if you will find any problem. If someone will be able to retest 
the Japanese, Chinese and other Asian languages support with a new groff, it 
will be great.

Thanks
Michal Vyskocil
