Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #309560, revision 1 Title: upgrade groff to 1.20 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Description: Please update groff to 1.20. Quoting Werner Lemberg: Since this topic is possibly of broader interest, I'm CCing this mail to the groff mailing list. It's nothing new, but... > GROFF VERSION: 1.18 This version is far too old. The current one is 1.20.1. > OS: openSuSE 11.2 Sigh. If you don't need Japanese support for man pages, install the current version of groff instead of relying on a version which is eight (!) years old. Test Case: echo '.PP Zażółć gęślą jaźń.' | groff -k -fUT -ms Use Case: To be able to roff documents in other scripts than Western. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309560
