MC> bit of /usr/bin/nroff (and similar things in the same file) is a truly
horrible
MC> HACK. It would be nice to be able to get rid of that as quickly as
possible.
I know.
MC> Why exactly was it necessary in the first instance? Is there still no way
to
MC> output arbitrary Unicode characters in groff directly, without having to
MC> reinterpret historic 8-bit encodings? Any change of fixing that underlying
MC> problem?
Not with groff 1.18.1.1.
Possibly with groff > 1.19.x. I have to check that.
MC> Otherwise there will never be any way to display both "man iso-8859-15" and
MC> "man iso-8859-1" correctly in any single locale.
Of course. I know. sigh.
