Nevertheless ... even if the macro \' is used groff should IMHO not map this character to the wrong char position for 8859-15 (maybe use the ASCII quote instead). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Wouldn’t it be nicer to make groff accept UTF-8 input in the source already? I think newer versions of groff have made a lot of progress in that direction. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
