Feature added by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #312586, revision 1 Title: Add locales support for groff papersize openSUSE Distribution: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Groff's papersize definition in font description don't allow usage of locale variables, even if it will benefit from that. So let's extend the definition for a new keyword 'locale', which will query the setting from existing locale variables (LC_PAPER, LANG or LC_ALL). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312586
