The current CVS version comes with a small preprocessor, preconv, to be activated with groff's -k or -K option, which can digest various encodings. Please test.

I can not use groff with UTF-8 characters. Is this a bug or I doing something wrong?

echo "ščěš" | groff -Tutf8
<standard input>:1: warning: can't find numbered character 141
<standard input>:1: warning: can't find numbered character 155

GNU groff version 1.18.1
GNU troff (groff) version 1.18.1
GNU grops (groff) version 1.18.1

I found http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/groff-utf8.tar.gz, which working fine, but I prefer to use only one groff.
